About the exhibition
Sunday, December 11, 2022 | Art making: 11am–1pm; tour: 1pm
ADMISSION: Free with Museum admission; advanced registration required for tour
Share your inner light this Hanukkah with a family day of art and service at The CJM. Decorate a tote bag with messages of hope in a project led by our Teen Art Connect (TAC) interns; then, bring your tote home to fill it with helpful items for the local Jewish Family and Children Services food pantry. Families will also be invited to share their personal golden rules on fabric, and weave them into textiles on community looms in the Zim Zoom Family Room. Activities will be followed by a family tour of the exhibition Tikkun: For the Cosmos, Community and Ourselves, featuring works by thirty Bay Area–based contemporary artists reflecting on the Jewish concept of tikkun (Hebrew for “to repair.”)

Tikkun: For the Cosmos, the Community, and Ourselves, the twelfth iteration of The Dorothy Saxe Invitational at The CJM, presents works by thirty Bay Area–based contemporary artists reflecting on the Jewish concept of tikkun (Hebrew for “to repair”). In a moment of collective challenges and uncertainty, this exhibition re-examines the term tikkun as a phenomenon of care and interconnectedness that is grounded in personal action, environmental responsibility, and community, unfixed from its evolving meanings throughout history. Taken together, the works in this exhibition consider how the concept of tikkun can help us look critically both inward and outward, guide us through change, and build resilience for the ongoing work of repair.
Family Programs are made possible by major support from Bank of America.
