Holy Days III by Berit Engen "We sit in the sukkah, resting and rejoicing while watching the stars from under the schach".
The tapestry is based on the the book The Jewish Way - Living the Holidays by Rabbi Irving Greenberg, from the following section:
Part I: THE VISION AND THE WAY; chapter 4: Journey to Liberation: Sukkot.

"Let the Sukka Hug You" by Dov Lederberg.
acrylics on canvas, 36" x 28" (92 x 71 cm).
.
Artist statement: "One of the most profound Sukka meditations is that entering its spiritual space is to experience being "hugged" by the Shechena,
the Divine Presence". The holiday of Sukkot starts Sunday night.

G'mar chatima tova! "The Gates are Open" by Ruth Feldman.
Oil on canvas, 24 x 30 inches.
.
Artist statement: Traditionally, we think of the Neilah Service at the end of Yom Kippur as a time when the heavenly gates are ‘closing.’ This painting represents the idea that the strength of our Kavana, the intensity of our prayers, can not only open the gates but can increase the flow of Kedusha and Bracha (holiness and blessing) from above. The drips in the painting represent the ‘KAV’ (lines/streams) going up and down, internal and external, trying to bridge the abyss to allow us to be the vessel to receive the Holiness and Blessing and become ONE with HaKadosh Baruch Hu.

Yom Kippur - "Who By Fire”, Carol Buchman, mixed media on panel.
.
The sentence comes from a prayer, Unetanetokef, on the Day of Atonement:
On Rosh Hashanah it is inscribed
And on Yom Kippur it is sealed
How many shall die and how many shall be born
Who shall live and who shall die
Who at the measure of days and who before
Who by fire and who by water
Who by the sword and who by wild beasts
Who by hunger and who by thirst
Who by earthquake and who by plague
Who by strangling and who by stoning
Who shall have rest and who shall go wandering
Who will be tranquil and who shall be harassed
Who shall be at ease and who shall be afflicted
Who shall become poor and who shall become rich
Who shall be brought low and who shall be raised high.

Rosh HaShanah: "The Hope of Being Heard" by Gabrielle Mizrachi-Mallin, 3D Digital Collage.
At Rosh Hashanah we cast away our sins, look within and pray fervently in hopes that our words and actions are recognized by the Almighty. We recognize that while we have a spark of divinity within us, we are merely dust, constantly striving to refine ourselves. On this day, we must plead to be heard by G-d, so that we are granted another year of life, happiness and blessings.

Shabbat shalom! "Portugal VI" by Miriam Stern @Miriamscolor
.
In Portugal Conversos (hidden Jews) were forced to scratch crosses on their doorposts to show that they were devout “New Christians.” However, they modified the crosses with the inverted letter shin, the Hebrew letter found on the outside of a mezuzah case, or made these “crosses” from cruciform menorah designs. Conversos went into hiding, usually to the cellars, where they lit candles on Friday night. This piece depicts Shabbat candlesticks to commemorate the bravery and commitment of these Jews who risked everything to remain Jewish.

Shabbat shalom! "Vessel P#3" by Stacy Leeman, oil paint on canvas. .
"For this series of paintings, I studied a Talmudic passage from the tractrate of Shabbat in which the rabbinical sages interpret a text from Exodus that interprets the biblical phrase “zeh keli ani v’anvehu" to mean "This is my G-d I will beautify or embellish Him." This painting is part of a series that began as a meditation on the notion of beauty in response to a photo a friend shared years ago of bottles, or empty vessels, refracting the sunlight. The bottles were intense colors and the light passing through them was striking. This image stayed with me as I explored the idea that in creating beauty the artist mimics the acts of the Creator, much like Shabbat is part of the weekly reenactment of G-d's act of creation" @stacyleeman .
