Art. Remembrance. A Lesson For Life.
As summer nears, help yourself to a glass of iced tea or lemonade and join us as you
relax in the company of your friends. Enjoy delicious fresh treats and drinks while
engaging in a wonderful and meaningful Sabes JCC project – painting butterflies!
The Butterfly Project is a grass roots arts and education initiative that memorializes the
1.5 million children killed in the Holocaust through global displays of ceramic
butterflies – one butterfly painted for each child.
The Butterfly Project’s messages of hope and healing are woven together with Holocaust
survivors’ courageous stories of these dark times. A moving account of survival and a
lesson in the healing power of art working its magic, The Butterfly Project is now a global
memorial with over 200 communities, including Canada, Mexico, Israel, Australia, France,
Czech Republic, Cuba, Morocco and Poland. The butterflies created as part of this
project will become part of a community-wide installation featuring hundreds of
painted butterflies that will be on display at the Sabes JCC.
