The Woodstock Jewish Congregation is happy to invite congregants from all synagogues in the area to the latest opening in Gallery Lev Shalem, at the Woodstock Jewish Congregation.  Please open the attachment and come if you can.

The new Gallery Lev Shalem, at the Woodstock Jewish Congregation (Glasco Turnpike off of Route 212), will present the art of Ze’ev Willy Neumann, May 3, 2009 from 2 to 3:30.  The show closes July 15th.  Willy says he reaches his life spirit through the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet…..which when assembled in a specific order form a word we all need more of. Everyone is welcome to come and experience the world of  this creative man with many stories of real life determination and a passion for life and the ancient Hebrew alphabet. More information about the Gallery 679-2218.
