About My Community

The Jewish community is a happy place with lots of history and tradition. My collage is about that history and tradition. The collage sits on my father's prayer shawl, which is called a Talit. The Talmud represents our laws which were taught to us by Moses . I chose to include a Shofar which we blow on Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. I also included a Hanukiah and Hanukkah candles, which we celebrate with family in the winter. The Tzedakah box, which is filled with coins, is very important to our community because collecting for charity is one of our most important beliefs. The wine cup in the middle of the collage is used each Friday night for Shabbat, when we try to rest.
