Across two floors\, the exhibition\nexplores how artists transform Jewish experience into creative expression\, and\nhow art becomes part of the fabric of Jewish life. \nThe lower gallery\, juried by Barbara Heller (Director and Conservator\, Special\nProjects at DIA) features the work of local Jewish artists\, highlighting the\ndiverse ways artists draw from their Jewish experiences and identities.\nThrough paintings\, sculpture\, photography\, textiles\, and other forms of\ncreative expression\, each artist offers a unique perspective on what it means\nto create as a Jewish artist today. \nThe upper gallery\, juried by Rabbi Aaron Bergman and Barbra Kratchman\,\nfeatures artist-made Judaica\, bringing together treasured heirlooms on loan\nfrom community members alongside contemporary works by practicing artists.\nThese objects reveal the many ways Jewish traditions have been honored\,\ninterpreted\, and reimagined through art. From cherished objects passed down\nthrough generations to new works created for Jewish life today\, the gallery\ninvites visitors to consider how Judaica can hold memory\, embody ritual\, and\nconnect generations. \nArtist Spotlight: Danielle Styles \nExhibit Sponsors:\nDr. Judy Pearl\, Esther Hankin\, Rebecca & Fred Hankin\, Elaine & Michael\nSterling\, Nancy Wanchik\nProgram Sponsor:\nJudy & Dr. John Marx \nRegistration required \nOPEN HOURS DURING EXHIBITS:\nTuesday: 10 AM – 4 PM\nThursday: 11 AM – 7 PM\nSunday: 12 PM – 4 PM\nAppointments available\n*Visit the website or social media for up-to-date information & holiday closures.\nFor more on exhibits and events\, visit\n(https://charachgallery.org.) \nView event on Jlive: https://jlive.app/events/17423 URL:https://thejdetroit.org/event/artfull-art-at-the-heart-of-jewish-life-opening-reception/ LOCATION:Janice Charach Gallery\, The J 6600 West Maple Rd\, West Bloomfield Twp CATEGORIES:All Ages,Arts & Culture,Beverages (non alcoholic),Bible,Cocktails and Drinks,Coffee,Hebrew and Yiddish,History,Israel,Items for sale,Jewish Learning,Kosher,Parking (free),WiFi ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://thejdetroit.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Screenshot_14-9-2026_135518_-xp0M4c.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Janice Charach Gallery":MAILTO:gallery@jccdet.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20261020T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20261020T153000 DTSTAMP:20260920T223520Z CREATED:20260915T222051Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260920T223520Z UID:10001740-1792504800-1792510200@thejdetroit.org SUMMARY:Drop-In Rummikub at The J DESCRIPTION:Looking for a fun way to spend an afternoon?

Creative mending is a mindful\, sustainable\npractice that transforms worn or damaged textiles into one-of-a-kind art\npieces using visible stitching\, patching\, and decorative embroidery\ntechniques. Rather than hiding tears\, holes\, or stains\, this approach\ncelebrates an item’s story by turning repairs into striking visual features. \nParticipants are encouraged to bring their own clothing or fabric items in\nneed of care—such as denim\, or woven garments. All necessary mending tools and\nmaterials will be provided\, though students are welcome to bring their own\nsupplies or specialty fabrics if they wish. Whether you are looking to extend\nthe life of a favorite garment or learn creative stitchwork\, you will leave\nwith practical skills and a renewed piece to wear with pride. \nRegistration deadline: Sunday\, November 15 \nView event on Jlive: https://jlive.app/events/17445 URL:https://thejdetroit.org/event/creative-mending-with-rachel-brunhild/ LOCATION:Janice Charach Gallery 6600 West Maple Rd.\, West Bloomfield Twp CATEGORIES:Adults,Arts & Culture,College Students,Educational,Environment and Sustainability,Grandparents,Kosher,Non Alc.
