Israeli Art Exhibit and Sale
A huge exhibit of contemporary
Israeli art will be displayed for the
entire Charlotte community dur
ing a week-long fundraiser bene
fiting the Levine Jewish
Community Center and the Jewish
Federation of Greater Charlotte.
The Expressions exhibit, spon
sored by the Israeli government
and founded in 1985, tours over
125 artists’ work around the
United States and Canada. Getting
a spot in the Expressions exhibit is
a much sought after honor for
many Israeli artists. The exhibit
includes sculpture, weaving,
ceramics, watercolors, oils,
mosaics and jewelry by both
native Israelis and emigres from
the former Soviet Union and
Ethiopia. Jewelry is a major seller
with amazing prices for “one of a
kind” masterpieces. Artists in the
exhibit have works in local gal
leries as well, but are seen in the
Expressions exhibit for less. Some
artists highlighted are Dorit Levi,
Ben Simhon and Orlando, Dima
Gorban, Yuri Tremler, Reaphael
Abukassis, Itzhak “Izzy” Assour,
Totla Imbar, Ruth Bloch, Yuval
Mahler, and Michael Gorban.

week of April 22-29. For more

Hebrew Cemetery Association
By Lorrie Klemons, publicity
The winter will soon fade away
to the beautiful springtime, a sea
son for renewal and rebirth. What
better way to welcome in the
spring than to commit to the con
tinued renewal of the only Jewish
cemetery in town- the Hebrew
Cemetery of Charlotte. In making
that commitment it is as though
you give renewal to all of those
departed souls of blessed memory
who are buried there.
Don’t be misled by other ceme
teries in town that offer “Jewish
sections.” The Hebrew Cemetery
of Charlotte is the only location in
town that guarantees the sacred
ness, holiness and ritual of the
Jewish burial, supervised, orches
trated and administrated by your
fellow Jews.
The Cemetery Association is a
non-profit committee of Jewish
volunteers who care about the
sanctity and dignity of those who
precede us in eternal life. We
believe that the cemetery is a Beit
Olim, a house of two worlds...a
sacred domain where the two
worlds meet with a kiss: the world
going out and the future coming
in.
It doesn’t take much to ensure
that this sanctified and holy
domain is perpetuated for all time.
The remittance of tax-deductible
annual dues of $72 will list your
name amongst the other 800+
Charlottean Jews who are com
mitted to maintaining a holy rest
ing place for their fellow Jews,
including a special area for cre
mated remains and interfaith cou
ples. Your paid membership for a
minimum of two years provides
you and your family with all of the
membership benefits.
For more information about
these membership benefits,
graves, prepaid funeral costs, and
endowment/general donations,
call Cemetery Director Joe Kodsi
at 704-364-4112. If you have
already pre-purchased a grave site
for a loved one, please call Joe and
provide him with the full name of
the person for whom the grave
was purchased. 4*
