Shir Ami to Hold Israeli Culture & Arts Night on December 10

Shir Ami, the heart of Reform Judaism in Bucks County, will host a group of Israeli artists on Wednesday, December 10, from 3-8 p.m. for an Israeli Culture & Arts Night. Shir Ami is located on 101 Richboro Road, in Newtown. The event is open to the public and admission is free.

The Israeli Culture & Arts Night is designed to strengthen cultural connections in the Bucks County community. The gathering will include light Israeli fare, music, and a chance to see a variety of art that includes handcrafted Judaica, textiles, sculpture, fine jewelry, and prints in a range of modern and traditional styles. There will also be to opportunities to chat with the artists to learn more about their work.

The exhibitors represent a cross-section of Israeli creative life including, Ori Gabrieli of Gabrieli Hand Weaving, known for hand-loomed tallit; visual artists, such as Michelle Levi and Ahuva Elany, as well as contemporary Judaica maker, Agayof Judaica.

“Our committee felt it was important to bring these creators to Shir Ami at this moment,” said Randi Cohen, co-chair, Shir Ami’s Israel Advocacy Committee. “This is an opportunity to hear directly from Israeli artists, to learn from them, and to stand with them. Their work carries the stories of resilience and renewal that continue to shape Jewish life in Israel.”

“Bringing Israeli art abroad is more than an exhibition,” said Ori Gabrieli. “It is a bridge between communities. After two challenging years, opportunities like this remind our artists that they are supported and seen.”
