 About the Artists!
Elizabeth Braverman
Elizabeth finds beauty and life in aged, broken, and discarded things. She brings together scraps and fragments in the form of mosaics, quilts, and collage. Her mosaics incorporate bits of glass, mirror and ceramics on varied surfaces. Her motifs evoke feelings of calm, specialness, and joy.  Lois Gaylord
Lois, an abstract artist working in fiber and mixed media, is a maker of connections. Her work focuses on spirituality and connections and like a multi-strand braid, they interweave, creating the path to her present 'fiber-brained' endeavors. Currently those endeavors include handwoven and hand-dyed tallit, challah covers, and other ceremonial cloths as well as fiber and beaded jewelry.

Struggling To Preserve an Iranian Jewish Language Before It Goes Extinct
By Iris Mansour, TabletMag.com, July 22, 2013
Isaac Yousefzadeh is in mourning for his mother, who passed away a few weeks ago. But with her death comes a second, more subtle loss-that of her language, Judeo-Kashani, which is now on the verge of extinction. "It's like somebody is sick in bed and in another few days or years he will die," he said. "That's it." (continued)
Reliving the glorious days of Kochi's Jews The Hindu, September 14, 2013 For the Jewish people of Kochi and Ernakulam, the word 'home' evokes images of different lands. They came to Kerala's shores from Jerusalem, Baghdad, Spain, Portugal, and other countries in search of a land where they would not be persecuted. Since the 16th century, they established themselves as an integral part of the commerce and culture of Kochi. But Kochi was only a temporary home. In the 1950s, many of Kochi's Jews made the aliyah (emigration to Israel) to a land they always called their final home. (continued)
