Artist And Congregants To
Create Adat Shalom Mural
Adat Shalom Synagogue will host artist
Julie Wohl in a multi-generational cre-
ative program on Wednesday, Jan.16.
The project will focus on
the upcoming holiday of
Tu b'Shevat and caring
for the environment.
Adults and children of
all ages will work togeth-
er on parts of an artistic
collage that will be com-
Julie Wohl
pleted by Julie Wohl and
installed at Adat Shalom.
All will gather at 5:15 p.m. for an intro-
duction to the project by the guest artist.
This small group study will be followed
by the creation of a mural in which each
individual, even the very youngest, will
leave their "fingerprints?' A portion of
everyone's artwork will become part of the
mural that will live on at Adat Shalom.
Dinner is included as part of the pro-
gram, funded by the Hermelin Davidson
Foundation for Congregational School
Excellence.
Julie Wohl is a Jewish educator and art-
ist. She is the co-creator and illustrator of
the Siddur Mah Toy, as well as the illus-
trator of Simply Seder, both published by
Behrman House.
To RSVP, call (248) 626-2153 or email
