Join local artist Lillie Benowitz with Sustain Studio for a creative journey rooted in rest, resilience, and the power of communal reflection.At the heart of this project is a participatory art installation designed by Lillie Benowitz, inviting you to weave your own experience into a growing collective piece. Using fabric, thread, and yarn—each color tied to a different emotion or experience—you’ll reflect, choose your colors, and add them to the communal weaving. Together, these workshops and the evolving artwork create a space to metabolize what it means to be in Jewish community and in the world in this moment—holding both roots and resilience.

Accompanying Film Screening:
Tattooed4Life Film will be screening simultaneously at 1, 1:30 & 2 pm.
Liraz, a survivor of the Nova Music Festival massacre, wields her tattoo needle as a weapon against pain. Her mission is profound: to immortalize the 364 souls who perished on that fateful day. Through fractal tattoos, she weaves their stories—tales of loss, fear, faith, love, and hope—into the very fabric of the skin. Each inked line becomes a thread of healing, stitching together the wounds left by the tragedy that unfolded on October 7th. In the film, we witness the transformative power of art, as Liraz’s creations serve as both memorials and symbols of resilience. Her inked tapestry becomes a testament to the indomitable human spirit, seeking solace and redemption through creativity. (Israel | Short Documentary | 2024 | Director/Producer: Kineret Hay-Gillor)
