Leon Family Gallery Hall of Remembrance
The Hall of Remembrance will feature the names of over 1500 Israelis who have lost their lives on or since October 7 at the hands of terrorists interspersed with prints of art by various Israeli artists who have used their art as a way to take action, tell the stories of individuals, call for political action, and foster unity.
On exhibit in the Leon Family Gallery through June 2024.
Leon Family Gallery: Humans of October 7, Erez Kaganovitz
This breathtaking new exhibition brings to light the human stories of the remarkable people who have stood up to terrorism and showcases the unique spirit and resilience of the Israeli people. Created by one of Israel’s most noted artists and photojournalists, Humans of October 7th aims to combat misconceptions and antisemitic sentiment by showing the human side of the millions of lives in Israel affected by the attacks and ensuing conflict.
On exhibit in the Leon Family Gallery through June 2024.
Haim Jelin, Survivor from Kibbutz Be’eri
Yom Ha'Atzmaut, Yom HaZikaron, and Yom Hashoah are deeply interconnected days in Israel's collective memory.
Together, they underscore the significance of remembrance, resilience, and the continual pursuit of strong and flourishing Jewish communities, both in Israel and the Diaspora.
The United Jewish Federation of Tidewater invites you to join us in commemorating these important occasions and to learn more about them. Please visit our Resource Page.
