It's not about
giving up. It's
about more time
with family.
Hospice of the Western Reserve's care
reduces stressful hospital visits so you
can have more Saturdays playing cards
with Dad. If you or a loved one has been
diagnosed with a serious illness,
ask for
us by name.
We can make our first visit
the same day.

Mandel JCC Presents
"Homeland and
Promised Land" Art Exhibit
Local and international artists are showcasing a variety of their
original, contemporary art works as part of the "Homeland and
Promised Land" Art Exhibit at the Mandel JCC. The exhibit, which
runs May 9 through June 9, is presented by the Cleveland Jewish
Arts & Culture Lab and The J.
The exhibition showcases a
variety of original art works by
local and international artists,
including Beachwood residents
Robert Cohen, James Hollo-
way, Marla Kassoff and Karen
Shiffman.
For the first time, the Cleve-
land Jewish Arts & Culture
lab extended the program to
engage eight additional Fellows
from Cleveland's sister-cities, Beit
Shean, Israel and St. Petersburg,
Russia. These 21 talented artists
are part of the fourth Artist
Fellowship that was formed in
January 2013 by the Cleveland
Jewish Arts & Culture Lab. The
opening night reception, which
is May 9 from 7-9 pm at the
Mandel JCC, is free and open to
the community.
Rabbi Zachary Truboff, Sara
Hurand and the 12 local artists
met over the course of several
months to study the theme of
"Homeland and Promised Land,"
using Torah, text study and
discussion. Each artist Fellow
was commissioned to do a work or works in the spirit of the theme
"Homeland and Promised Land," inspired by the learning the group
did together.
The Cleveland Jewish Arts & Culture Lab was founded in 2012
by Sara Hurand and Rabbi Zachary Truboff in partnership with the
Mandel JCC, the Jewish Federation of Cleveland, and the Shaker
Launchhouse. It provides annual Artist Fellowships, community
programs and Jewish learning, in order to enliven our Cleveland
Jewish artistic and cultural community. The Cleveland Jewish Arts &
Culture Lab project was awarded a Zahav (gold) honor for excel-
lence by the national JCCA of North America in 2014. Sara Hurand
is a painter and registered architect and is involved in numerous
community organizations. Rabbi Truboff serves as the Senior Rabbi
of Cedar Sinai Synagogue.
The exhibit is free and open to the community during Man-
del JCC regular business hours. For more information about the
