We would be honored to have you join us for a moving and powerful evening: ✨ Bringing Back the Light: The Visual Journals of the Women of Be’eri 🗓 Thursday, July 24th 🕢 7:00 PM 📍 David Ben Rimon Fine Art, 41 East 57th Street, 2nd floor RSVP: https://davidbenrimon.com/exhibition-bringing-back-the-light.html This exhibition tells the story of a group of courageous women from Kibbutz Be’eri, survivors of the October 7th massacre, who turned to art as a path toward healing. Over the course of nine months, guided gently by visual journaling facilitator Rakefet Hadar, they worked in personal art journals using the SoulPages method – a deeply intuitive process that combines images, words, and color. These journals became containers for grief and transformation, offering a safe space for each woman to hold memory, pain, resilience, and hope. At the opening event, you’ll have the opportunity to meet the women behind the work, browse their original journals brought specially from Israel, and hear reflections from guests and community members. 🧡 All artworks on display will be available for purchase.( they are already on the Gallery site now) Your contributions will help fund the exhibition and support the creation of an art and healing space for the senior community of Be’eri. This population has also significantly suffered and deserves ongoing care. This is more than an exhibition – it is an offering of light in dark times. We hope you will join us. With warmth and gratitude, Rakefet Hadar & The Exhibition Team
