1 big year of change.
Be the Change is a 2022-2023 art and activism initiative that is inspired by the Jewish tenet of justice and drawing from the ritualistic Jewish Tzedakah box. Taking place in Boston, Cincinnati, L.A., and online, Be the Change will help viewers connect to issues of injustice and empower them to become agents of change. Beyond just giving money, the goal of Be the Change is to help us all become artivists – activists through the art. Conceived and organized by Israeli-American artist Caron Tabb in partnership with the Jewish Arts Collaborative (JArts), Tabb was inspired to create the exhibit concept in partnership with Ruth Messinger (former CEO and President of American Jewish World Service).
Join us for a Kiddush talk after services to continue the conversation with Ruth Messinger and artists from Be the Change.
