“Bat Mitzvah”
A few weeks ago the four of us went to a Jewish Art Show at a local synagogue. Not only did Q and I fall in love with (and ultimately buy) a painting by Israeli artist Slava Ilyayev, but Zoe discovered a piece she had to have herself. Called “Bat Mitzvah,” the painting is one of many that, in the artist Peter’G’s words, “introduces us into the magical mystery of Jerusalem… through the eyes of a child.”
It’s the first piece of art that Zoe bought on her own, and she and her dad got it framed and proudly hung it up in her room this weekend.
