SHALOM BAYIT - PEACE IN THE HOME ONLINE VIRTUAL EXHIBIT
The Sabes & St. Paul JCCs hope you enjoy this unique online exhibition featuring artworks from our own community on the theme of Shalom Bayit (Peace in the Home). This foundational Jewish principle takes on new meaning in our current landscape, and as more and more communities around the globe have been sheltering-in-place, we are redefining what home is and what is means to have peace in the home.
Shalom Bayit is an ongoing practice – the intention is to create a sanctuary, a place that feels welcoming, calm and safe.
*Please check back often as NEW art will be added as they are received.
