This blacklight installation by artist Tova Speter,  which was on display December 9-18, was inspired by the theme of light as a vehicle for connection during the dark and isolating experience of a global pandemic. Hundreds of decorated cards by students from 8 Jewish day schools light a path towards the central glow of a woven mandala representing the Shamash candle of the menorah – the candle that lights all the others.
