Walking one evening on Dizengoff Street in Tel Aviv I noticed a series of plastic bottle sculptures on the side of the street. They were fascinating and I made a short video of the exhibit.

The Fountainheads are a group of young Israeli dancers, singers, actors and artists, all graduates and students of the Ein Prat Academy for Leadership, who have have joined forces to create new Jewish artistic content for today’s Jewish World. All members of the group have spent time living and studying at the Ein Prat Academy, working to create a new Israeli-Jewish identity and building a strong and diverse community that celebrates Jewish life. The Fountainhead’s work has already been enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of people all over the world.
By Ariel Ben Avraham. Art by Phillip Ratner There are meaningful times in the Torah when the Creator “defines” Himself to us. Most of the times it seems enough to read “I am the Lord“. When we read that He is holy, we reflect on the Commandments that precede such statement in the Torah: “Speak to the entire congregation of the children of Israel, and say to them, You shall be holy (kedushim), because I, the Lord your G-d, am holy.” (Leviticus 19:2).

Today our stroll at the art and craft fair next to the Shuk (food bazaar) in heart of Tel Aviv had a few surprises. Enjoy the treat.
