The creations of many of the students, alumnae and teachers from the EMUNAH Appleman College of Art and Technology in Jerusalem, and students from the EMUNAH V’Omanut Program were displayed at the EMUNAH Gallery Show and Sale on Saturday evening, December 17, 2011 at The Ecko Showroom in New York City. Drawing a large eclectic crowd, the show, which was open to the public, gave guests a chance to view and purchase pieces from a choice collection of art—many from renowned Israeli artists—and also a chance to discover new talent. The exhibit included oil paintings, water colors, Judaica, original winning minted coin and stamp designs for the Israeli government, Judaica and paper cuts. The EMUNAH Florence and Joseph Appleman College, created in 1972, grants young women the opportunity to earn a Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) in the fields of Fine Arts, Graphic Design and Drama, complemented by a rich program of Judaic studies in an environment steeped in religious Zionism. An EMUNAH-sponsored post-high school seminary in Israel, EMUNAH V’Omanut, gives young women the opportunity to immerse themselves in Judaic studies while also pursuing rigorous training in art, music and film. The event paid tribute to renowned artist and EMUNAH V’Omanut teacher Leah Raab, whose work was on exhibit. The venue was spectacular—with the modern, spacious Mark Ecko Showroom in New York City being the perfect setting for this very successful show. Proceeds from sales of the art went to provide scholarships to needy students at the EMUNAH College of Art and Emunah V’Omanut in Jerusalem. Many thanks to Arielle Salkin, first year alumna of Emunah V’omanut, for her hard work curating the show.
