Bringing Art to Life

Our Annual ECE Gallery Exhibit

​

The Sheva Early Learning Framework is coherent with the culture and teachings of Judaism in everyday life, values, and principles. The classroom environments are set up in a collaborative approach to learning and engagement between educators and children while being inspired by the seven Sheva lenses within the framework. In Hebrew, the number seven translates to Sheva which in Judaism can be thought to be a feeling of fullness or wholeness. As the children create their projects, they can feel a sense of fulfillment as their ideas come to life. This year's projects represent how Bringing Art to Life can embody one of the seven Sheva lenses.

 

The Toddler, Preschool, Junior Kindergarten, and School-Age children have selected and highlighted the foundation of each lens within their creative work.

 

1. Masa: Journey (Reflection, Return, and Renewal)

2. B’rit: Covenant (Belonging and Commitment)

3. Hit’orerut: Awakening (Amazement and Gratitude)

4. K’dushah: Holiness (Intentionality and Presence)

5. D’rash: Interpretation (Inquiry, Dialogue, and Transmission)

6. Tzelem Elohim: Divine Image (Dignity and Potential)

7. Tikkun Olam: Repair of the World (Responsibility)

 

The children whose creations are exhibited range from age 18 months to 12 years. These creations were all based on their initial interests. Educators observed and followed their lead.

This exhibit runs from April 1 - 28, 2024.
