DIY Key Napkin Ring Craft For The First Shabbat After Passover!
I am re=posting this craft from a time when my kids were much younger (7 years ago!) and I made an extra effort to make each special shabbat special. (Today I made each shabbat special with the specific traditional family foods they love) I was looking for my images of key shaped challah, and came across this, so I thought I’d dust it off. Enjoy! To honor this special shabbat, namely the first one after Passover in which we traditionally prepare challah in our homes once again, I just came up with a quick little key napkin ring craft as I’ll be making bagels instead the traditional key shaped challahs…

Counting The Omer With Art
Last year, during the week of Passover,when we do not do art, I had the idea of making an art journal for counting the omer. Once Passover ended I quickly prepared pages, 49 plus, one for each day of the Omer, and then began making art on each of the pages. This turned out to be too large a project for that time period, so this year I’m going to finish that journal, and hopefully start another, as I just can’t resist! There is just something about counting the Omer with daily creating that is so perfect! So do give the idea of marrying an art practice with spirituality for…

An Art Journal For Sefirat HaOmer
We are now in the middle of the seven day Passover holiday, which also means we have started a period on the Jewish calendar called sefirat haomer, which means the counting of the omer. This is a 49 day period between the 2nd night of Pesach, and the holiday of Shavuot, when we receive the Torah. There are many deep aspects of the counting of the days during this period, but lets just say that it is a time for character refinement, and for those who wish to delve deeper it is a time to really learn about how the sefirot of kabbalah influence our everyday. For those of us…

Next Year In Jerusalem!
Next Year In Jerusalem! I painted this little Jerusalem cityscape a few months ago, and it is the perfect piece of mixed media art to share with you right now as we push ourselves over the finish line of Passover preparations, phew! Wishing everyone an amazing, restful and meaningful week of Passover. May we all merit to escape the slavery in our minds, and in our hearts and in the world at large. See you after we cross the Red Sea, and wishing you all the very best!

Origami Jumping Frogs For The Passover Seder
With the Jewish holiday of Passover arriving on Saturday night, ready or not, now might be the time to spend just a few minutes making a cute craft to grace your Passover seder table? I’ll admit, despite high hopes of totally cleaning out my studio, I am exhausted right now and will settle for almost organized, not including cabinets! And of course there are other areas in the house that need attention, not to mention the container garden, though I don’t think I’ll get to that before the holiday, we have been having huge rain and dust storms for two days! As far as that studio of mine, it will…

Passover Pyramid Craft From A Cereal Box!
With Passover arriving this coming Saturday night, now is the time to fit in some last minute crafting in anticipation of this wonderful holiday, and possibly keep the kids busy with a crafting station so you can finish, or continue all the holiday preparations! The essence of the holiday is to tell the story of the Jews deliverance from Egypt to the children, so getting kids involved with decorations and hand made items to celebrate and absorb this game changing history of the Jewish people is really really important! I have been wanting to make cardboard pyramids for a few years, and while I didn’t quite realize my dreams…
