Join us on Sunday, November 29, for Brushes for Israel, an evening of art, inspiration and impact.

We’re delighted to welcome Israeli artist Albert Levi for a guided painting experience, where he’ll guide you from the first brushstroke to the finishing touches. During the evening, Albert will also share his unique story and how the events of October 7 led him to discover a new path through art.

Whether you’ve painted before or are picking up a brush for the first time, you’ll receive step-by-step guidance in a fun and upbeat atmosphere. Bring a friend or come meet other women for an evening of creativity and meaningful connection.

Your ticket includes your canvas, paints, all the supplies you’ll need, plus desserts and refreshments. At the end of the evening, you’ll take home your own piece of art and memories of a special evening shared together.

ABOUT ALBERT LEVI

Albert Levi never planned to become an artist. Growing up in Israel, he was a difficult teenager who did not know where he belonged or what he wanted from life. 
He found direction while serving in the IDF’s Maglan special forces unit, an experience that gave him discipline, responsibility, perspective, and the belief that he was capable of much more than he had imagined. 
In 2022, he picked up a paintbrush almost by chance, and found a sense of peace he hadn’t known before. 
After October 7, he returned to reserve duty in Gaza and northern Israel, losing friends and carrying those experiences home. 
Painting became his way of processing pain and creating hope amid darkness. 
Today, he owns a gallery and studio in Israel and creates works collected around the world, bringing Jewish communities closer to Israel and to one another through art. 
His story is one of finding purpose, drawing on resilience, and holding onto hope.
