  • Community Creative Fellowship

    The Jewish Arts Collaborative and The Combined Jewish Philanthropies, Art and Culture, have proudly teamed up to present a season-long community-based art fellowship to two outstanding artists in the Boston area. Today, as more and more people are exploring personal, creative approaches to their Jewish identity, arts and culture are playing an essential role. Instead of being an adjunct to Jewish identity, the arts are now its foundation. On the communal level, the arts enable us to reach and educate people of all backgrounds about the richness of Jewish culture. The two fellows for this season’s community creative- Adriana Katzew, and Yoni Battat- will be engaging the community through both artistic and spiritual practice, and provide insight and interest to people throughout the community who are exploring their own Jewish artistic journey. Through both personal development and community engagement, these fellows will create new work while exploring new ways to interact with and inspire others across the Greater Boston community.

  • Be the Change

    Be the Change is an art and activism initiative that is inspired by the Jewish tenet of justice and drawing from the ritualistic Jewish Tzedakah box. Be the Change is about making space to talk about injustice – and to give us all action steps to be agents of change in our local and global communities. The tzedakah box (based on the root word tzedek, Hebrew for justice) is a small box in which Jews traditionally collect loose change on Shabbat and other occasions to be donated to the needy. Beyond just giving money, the goal of Be the Change is to help us all become artivists – activists through the art.
