I made this on my iPad after being inspired by a sculpture my dad showed me but since I couldn’t put the direct picture in I chose to create my own drawing.

I choose this picture because it represents my emotions and thoughts while practicing my haftarah portion. In this picture is my yad and haftarah portion. The frame turned sideways to represent the confusion of the portion. The frame is looking down at the portion to give the viewer the perspective of me who is practicing the portion. The low light represents my tiredness as I have been through a long day of school already so I don’t feel like practicing. This relates to the Hebrew languages because I am learning Hebrew for my bar mitzvah.

This is a photo of my younger sister playing the dreydl song. I was inspired to take a photo of this because for Hanukkah my sister decided to learn how to play the dreydl song on her piano. I thought that her learning that was such a creative way for her to combine her Judaism with one of her favorite things to do!

# data[].attributes.body
I chose this photo because it shows that Hebrew is part of my life. This picture was taken in my sedor which is something that is used a lot by me. The prayer that is in focus is one from the start of the Torah service to show that it is something I have been working hard on, especially to prepare for my Bat Mitzvah.

This picture is a Jewish star mosaic was created by my brother. The frame is full-screen because I want the person looking at the picture to see the mosaic and only the mosaic. The light is as bright as possible because the mosaic is cheerful and shouldn’t have low light. It shows Jewish creativity because the Star of David is Jewish and making a mosaic requires creativity.

This board literally says “Hello Shabbat.”The picture figuratively says “I am nice and pleasant,” based on the lighting. The perspective of the picture is straight-on, as if you are someone about to chop some lox for a sandwich. I chose this photo because it shows how Hebrew is part of my every-day life

# data[].attributes.body
There is a godly glow shining off of the sliver showing how holy candles and a kiddish cup are. The picture represents a Jewish way of life by showing that my family celebrates Shabbat with lighting candles and drinking out of the kiddish cup, and that is very Jewish

This is the 7th Aliyah for yitro (my bar mitzvah part). The photo is straight on to show my understanding of it. There are more shadows twoards the side of what it looks like in the Torah because well… it’s easier with vowels.

This is a photo of me at my bar mitzvah. In the picture I am surrounded by the people who (aside from my Hebrew teachers) most helped me develop my Jewish identity also known as my grandparents. They all had experiences as a Jew that are incredibly different from the experiences I will have as a Jew because of the different times we were born in.

I chose this picture of a siddur because it reminds me of Camp Nageela since I have a lot of memories from camp where we are practicing or learning about Judaism.

In this picture, there is a hanukiah and photographs of different people. The photographs are in order from left to right, older generations to younger generations. This picture was taken with a first person view and angled down, this is because you are looking at history and adding more to it by keeping the memories alive. This relates to Historical memory because a while ago, my great grandmother brought this with her on the boat that took her out of an increasingly anti Semitic Europe. This hanukiah has been passed down by four generations and will continue to be passed down by future generations.

These are three chanukias for me my brother, and sister (don’t question my impressive stash of Chanukah candle candle wax, I’m quite proud of it :)). As you can tell by the candle wax there were lit, showing my family is Jewish.

This is historical memory to me because my grandpa's dad got this and was past down to my grandpa and then past down to my dad. When I think of memory of my family’s history I think of this after going through most of our Hanukkah’s.

In this picture is three Jewish pieces of artwork. The ones that have white backgrounds were made by hand in Hebrew school. The perspective is looking up at this art, this is because me and my brother made this when we were younger and this is how we would have seen our art hanging on the wall. On the artwork, there is our family name in English and in Hebrew. This relates to Jewish culture and creativity because me and my brother had to use Jewish creativity to design the artwork and actually make it.

# data[].attributes.body
This picture shows Jewish culture and creativity because it’s a picture of the square art we made in Hebrew school. Hebrew school art is important because it is a way for a lot of Hebrew school kids, including me, to connect to Israel and the rest of the Jewish people in the world. also, this is physical art based off of a Jewish prompt or concept, so it shows my creativity from a Jewish lens.

This picture shows Jewish values because it is a picture of a siddur, which holds all the prayers we say to thank G-d. Jewish people value this thankfulness and these prayers, meaning that a siddur shows the values of the Jewish people.

This picture shows a Jewish way of life because one of the main traditions Jewish people have is celebrating Hanukkah. Now, we celebrate by presents and lights, but Hanukkah truly represents the period of 8 days where the little oil that was found, untouched, lasted. Hanukkah was a miracle. Jews celebrate this miracle every year, which is why this picture shows Jewish lifestyle.

This is a piece of art that hangs near our dinner table and changes for each different way you look at it. Its main picture is a Jewish star. This picture reminds me how we as a Jewish community have shifted and changed but all the while stayed the same true community. I tried taking an angle where you could see how it changes.

This is a photo from when I was in Israel and it is just a great photo. This is me at the Western Wall and that shadow is a real person. I don’t know them and they didn’t know we were taking a photo but it turned out great! To me it represents the Jewish community looking at me as a part of the community and not just a kid.

This was one of our previous projects we did in Hebrew school and while I was doing it, I was trying to use as many different colors as possible to show my creativity.

This is a picture of this "Dwarf doll" at my house. Whenever someone in my household goes to Israel, they would bring this doll with them. I have no idea how it started. Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity to be in possession of it, but I hope to someday. You can see the size comparison of the doll to my face, and how small it is. This doll has been to Israel quite a few times, and will be making another trip (possibly 2) this summer.

This is a picture of a necklace I got when I was in Israel. The necklace shows historical memory because this trip to Israel, though it was only in 2019, feels like so long ago, and the trip created so many memories for me with my family and my Jewish experience. This picture was taken in portrait mode, so that the necklace was the main point in the photo and the rest was slightly blurred out. That is to show that this necklace is important, and not only the necklace but the story and trip and memories behind it.

When I was 4 I broke my arm :( I was 4 and I was dumb. Anyway I had this shirt I really liked that was orange and said on it “my brother did it” I dunno why I liked it but I did. Idk what the shirt was implied my brother did but meh. Anyway we were in a airport to go to Israel and awesome scene when my broken arm self had the arrow in the shirt pointing at Aaron making it look like he broke my arm. He did not I jumped off the pole at the park. Again I was 4 and I was dumb. This story always comes the my head when I think about Israel for some reason

This is a picture of the first page of my haftorah portion. The beads are spilled on it because when I spill the beads I use to make bracelets, I’m frustrated and upset that I spilled them and have to clean them back up, just like I get frustrated with myself and my portion when I’m practicing and I mess up. Also, the angle is from the bottom looking up because the bottom of the first page is the part that I’m learning right now in tutoring.

In this photograph there are two things, In the foreground, a hanukia, in the background, a beautiful piece of art. The hanukia was gifted to our family by my Bubbie. The hanukia’s design has the Israelites arms carrying the candles. The painting seen in the background, was made by a Jewish painter. This photo  relates to Jewish way of life because although we don’t put candles in it because we don’t want to ruin the uniqueness and beauty of the hanukia, we still bring it out every year. It is a tradition.

In this picture is a tzedaka box I made in 1st grade at Congregation Beth Judea. On one side there is a shadow and it is much darker. This symbolizes how that the person receiving the tzedaka might be in a sad or dark place. They may be struggling. On the other side of tzedaka box, it is lighter and brighter. This represents the joy or hope of the person receiving the tzedaka. The tzedaka box is in the middle and foreground of the frame this represents the change in moods and lighting from sadness to happiness. It also shows the contrast of the two sides. I took the picture on an angle because the world isn’t perfect and it’s a little crooked. This relates to Jewish Values because it shows how tzedaka is important and can change someone’s life.

In this picture is a book made in 2017 by my family. This book was made after our family trip to Israel.

This relates to a multifaceted connection to Israel because this is a picture of a book of memories from the time we went to Israel.
