A new art exhibit of beautiful textiles has been hung at Darchei Noam. With pieces adorning our foyers and Social Hall walls, this exhibit displays members of the Pomegranate Guild of Judaic Textiles of Toronto's works that share their celebrations with others. 

In Celebration

 
“People of our time are losing the power of celebration. Instead of celebrating we seek to be amused or entertained. Celebration is an active state, an act of expressing reverence or appreciation. To be entertained is a passive state .... Celebration is a confrontation, giving attention to the transcendent meaning of one's actions.” ― Abraham Joshua Heschel
 
We celebrate because human efforts matter. And the act of celebrating instills a sense of gratitude in us for the blessings in our lives. We celebrate Jewishly in three ways: holidays, life cycles and personal milestones - sharing these precious times with family, friends and community.
