*****************************************************************************

Every two years, Moriah Congregation holds an All-Judaic Art & Jewelry Fair. More than 2000 people attended our last show in 2006. The Moriah All-Judaic Art & Jewelry Fair is a juried exhibition which showcases the best work of internationally acclaimed artists from North America and Israel. We are very proud that more than 100 artists submitted their work to be judged by this year's jury, chaired by Karen Schur. One of the things that creates the uniqueness of the Fair is our commitment to offer only works of art that are Judaic in theme with the exception of our outstanding array of beautiful jewelry. In addition, the artists themselves are present to represent their work. This allows all of us to take advantage of the rare opportunity to talk directly with the artists about the meaning behind their art, so as to enhance the enjoyment of our purchases.
