CANCELLED DUE TO STORM
​
Chelsea Market 10th
Avenue Gallery, 75 9th Ave, New York
Join Art Kibbutz, Hazon (the largest faith-based environmental organization in the U.S.) and Street Lab to bring Shmita-related art to the streets of New York. Shmita, literally translated as the ‘Year of Release’. Shmita, more widely known as the Sabbatical Year, is integral to the vision of the Torah to maintain a just society. The COVID-pandemic made everyone forced a pause; in many cases a complete standstill. Yet this very halting helps us assert our fundamental essence as human beings.

ON-SITE PUBLIC ART AND EDUCATION PROJECTS
​

POP-UP OUTDOOR  SHOW OF SHMITA AND ECOLOGICAL THEMED ARTWORK
Street gallery exhibit on the theme of Shmita featuring artists from Art Kibbutz, Shmita prize-uprunners and City Artist Corps awardees including Sarah Zell Young, Bekah Starr, Cindy Lutz Kornet and Jana Zimmer.

SIGIL for Shmita
An open-air drawing studio, offering access to art materials and a place to draw together in public. Featuring Bekah Starr's Sigil for "Shmita"! 

WRITE Shmita
A public writing room on the street, stocked with a typewriter, and other tools and materials for writing in response to Shmita. Featuring writer Patricia Eszter Margit (City Artist Corps awardee) and performing artist Yoni Oppenheim's Debt Forgiveness.

LEARN Shmita  
Engage with the biblical tradition of Shmita and its modern application. Led by Sarah Zell Young of Hazon. 

STANDSTILL NYC: 2 PM EST and simultaneously around the world through Zoom
​
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, starting in march 2020 we unwittingly entered a period of Shmita. Art Kibbutz will host a two-minute action entitled STANDSTILL. This action requires participants to perform a radical pause in their activities: standing, sitting, or laying down in silence to allow a conscious contemplation of the ways in which our world has changed over the past two years and how we have changed as human beings. Led by Shira Dicker - join us here.

Literary Meet & Greet: The Jewish Bride

October 14, 2021 7:00PM
Liszt Institute New York (223 East 52nd Street, New York, 10022, NY)

​The Hungarian readers got to know Patrícia Eszter Margit as a journalist and the author of the bestselling novel, The Jewish Bride. The book provides an insight into the ongoing identity-search of the 3rd generation holocaust survivors and into the mystical world of Kabbalah through an engaging love story. In New York, Patricia is known for other reasons: she is the founder of Art Kibbutz, an international Jewish artists residency program that has received artists from 29 countries around the world and all over the US. She edited 7 tips for creating a strong diaspora community in America, the book of Piros Pazaurek, former honorary consul of Florida. As a response to the pandemic, she founded KorHatártalan, social network to support our elderly and sick compatriots. Patrícia Eszter Margit has been living in New York with her family for 20 years. During the evening, comprising a reading and a Q&A, the author  elaborated on her latest book, her Jewish and Hungarian identities, and her life goals celebrating her City Artist Corps literary award from New York City’s Department of Cultural Affairs. Co-sponsored by the Hungarian Hub. Patricia's work was performed by Lori Leifer, who also sang Yiddish songs.

The Oyven at Rosemarins

Sunday, July 4th, 4:00-7:00pm

Art Kibbutz presented its first in person post-pandemic event: The Oyven (Yiddish for oven) with FED and Brazilian culinary expert Mauricio Shuartz bringing food, art and ideas together, where everyone is fed physically, spiritually and emotionally. Our outdoor community-building program took place in Monroe (NY) at Rosemarin's on Sunday on July 4th where we shared the experience of shaping, baking and sharing challah and other traditional foods while engaging in Jewish creativity, texts and dialogue.

There was a performance by the music band Dr. Ted and the Stone and thee Israeli dancers Ronit Levin Delgado, Salit and Iren Kamyshev - all related to bread! This event was sponsored by Hakhel: The Jewish Intentional Communities Incubator.
