A program of the Jewish Studio Project combining Jewish text and art with the goal of inward and outward insight

 

What role do our relationships play in making a meaningful life? How have our connections and disconnections influenced our sense of self and purpose? Using the Jewish Studio Process - combining practices from the field of art, Jewish learning and spirituality - we will explore these questions and others. This will be a three-session series, with each session at 90 minutes, where we explore relationships of our past, present, and future. No art experience is necessary. This program is designed to meet people where they are at.

Facilitator: Ilana Jaffe-Lewis is a Teaching Artist and Jewish Studio Project Facilitator. She is the Founder of The Mothers' Studio and lives in Los Angeles, California with her husband, son, and dog.

 

The Jewish Community Foundation of Los Angles has awarded a grant to a partnership of community institutions (Temple Judea, Temple Ramat Zion, Valley Beth Shalom and L.A. Jewish Health- formerly Jewish Home for the Aging) to create SAYVA. Sayva means wisdom, sagacity, depth. The goal of SAYVA is to provide educational, recreational, community-building and wellness programming to hundreds of older adults. The goal of SAYVA is to make later adulthood interesting and purposeful - a time to be celebrated and cherished. The programming of SAYVA is meant to complement the communities of seniors which already exist and have been providing meaningful programs for so long.
