Presented by The Jewish Art Salon and Jewish Veg at the Charter Oak Cultural Center.
The exhibition, Through Compassionate Eyes; Artists Call for Animal Rights, addresses the theme of animal rights as an issue of social justice.
Not all of the artists are Jewish, nor were all of the works created with an intent to specifically address Jewish themes. However, the exhibition was conceived to show that there is a demonstrably powerful connection between Jewish texts and the connected topics of Ecology, Animal Cruelty and veganism. .

“It’s Bigger on the Inside”, sukkah designed by @shaynadenn, 2nd prize winner at @sukkahwood, curated by @goldie218 .
.
Viewers were greeted with the following text:
"Welcome! Please have a look inside. Immerse yourself.
... When you emerge...
Share your thoughts on the pages beneath.
If you are curious afterwards, feel free to turn to the last page and read my thoughts.
Or don't.
Each individual's interpretation brings the art alive in a new way and creates a new experience for the art to live in.
Help me get to know my art by allowing me to see it through your eyes." Viewers responses ranged from the sukkah being a space of self reflection to the similarities and differences of humanity to not judging a book by it's cover and on.
On the last page was the title and explanation.
Concept: The adage “room in the heart, room in the home” has perhaps no space more ideal than the sukkah. One of the mystical concepts of Sukkot is the ‘Ushpizin”, spiritual guests that we invite each night along with physical guests which we are always encouraged to bring in. The more, the merrier. All of sukkot in about opening our homes and hearts and celebrating together. .
.
The concept of this Sukkah is sometimes we think we don’t have enough to do what we want, i.e “I don’t have room/money to have guests”. However, when we commit to an idea, doing whatever we can, with whatever means we have, we will find that our world opens up. However unlikely it seems, anything is possible. On the outside, this sukkah might seem makeshift and small but I open my heart and invite you in to experience how when there’s room in the heart, there’s room in the home.

Moadim l"simcha to you all! This sukkah was created by @ellen_hanauer_studios .
Artist statement: "I loved the pageantry and whimsy of this photo. It truly captured the gratitude and abundance that I was aiming for. These little flags took a relatively short period of time to felt, as opposed to the figures, which were a real technical challenge - hand cutting the figures from one piece of felt and keeping them straight and equidistant from the ones above and below, keeping the fragile mesh from ripping - plus making sure that each panel had 9 figures and their hands met at the corners . Every piece of felt that was attached to a material, whether it was the mesh or other felt, used a felting machine to adhere. There was no glue and no sewing involved. The sheer amount of time it took was ridiculous, but I learned so much from this challenge that I will incorporate into my artmaking process". .
This sukkah was featured at @sukkahwood 2018 in NYC, curated by @goldie218 . The Jewish Art Salon was a co-sponsor.

The Kissing-Sukkah / Ronit Levin Delgado.
An interactive art installation and a durational performance by the artist, where she invites everyone to participate (all genders, ages, races..) to join her and add a kiss with the chosen lipstick hanging in the entrance of the Sukkah. "Together, through a performative act of collaboratively kissing the Sukkah, under the pillar of cloud, we add more layers of ourselves, layers of love and we kiss the Sukkah to its existence, building it together from the beginning to end.
The audience is not just the viewer, but becomes the performer as well as an necessary active player, collaborator, neighbor, friend. Each viewer leaves behind a kiss, a memory, a trace, a gift, connecting both with the Sukkah and the community.
Thank you @MAKEUPFOREVERUS for the partnership and providing all the lipsticks to the project".

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.

And the winner of @sukkahwood 2018 is..... Rachel Udkoff, who is also our newest Jewish Art Salon member! Her sukkah represented the 7 attributes of the ushpizin (sukkah guests from biblical times such as Abraham/ Sarah, Isaac / Rebecca, etc)
Great event by Sukkahwood at Inwood Park, NYC, and excellent curation by @goldie218 .
The 2nd place winner is also a Salon member, Shayna Denburg.
