An exhibition of artwork by children from Jewish schools across the diaspora to celebrate Israel’s 75th anniversary opened at the JW3 Centre in London on Sunday.
On display for three weeks, it will showcase the creativity of children from the UK, Europe and the USA, inspired by a programme of study of objects from Israeli museums and heritage sites.
It was devised by Nic Abery, the primary schools consultant for PaJeS, and follows a similar programme she launched five years ago for Israel’s 70th anniversary.
“I want students to build a deep and meaningful connection to the cultural, artistic and historical diversity of Israel,” Ms Abery said. “This project has given them a chance to engage with the rich diversity of our shared peoplehood, language and heritage.
