Martha’s Vineyard Jewish Culture Festival (Chabad)

We have been invited to participate in the Martha’s Vineyard Jewish Culture Festival, organized by Chabad, taking place on Monday, July 27.

This theme explores Shabbat as a lived experience: the Shabbat table, candlesticks and light, challah and Kiddush, textiles, family memory, quiet, and sanctuary. We are seeking artwork as well as objects to be exhibited.
