Birkat HaHammah Art Competition
On April 8, 2009 the Jewish community will rejoice the Sun’s return to its original place in the heavens at the precise time and day of its creation. This event is commemorated every 28 years and this year the Sun will be completing its 205th cycle. During Birkat HaHammah we raise our heads to the skies and give thanks for this wonderful gift, the eternal light that does not only mark out time, but also makes possible all life on earth.
To honor Birkat HaHammah, and mark the Sun’s significance and indispensability in our lives, we, along with JNF, Canfei Nesharim, Hazon and AvodaArts, are hosting an art competition to encourage contemporary artists to create artwork that captures the power of this moment.
