Rabbi Judith Levitt: Freelance Progressive Rabbi

My niece age 12 is one of my favourite people in existence. She recently entered an art competition & asked to draw me. Below is what she created & it made me cry 💕

This was the brief:

We would like you to create a piece of artwork in response to Jacqueline Suowari which celebrates your own culture. This could be a self portrait or a portrait of a family member or friend and include patterns and colour connected to yours/their culture. You must use a biro pen and include an element of fabric. You may also like to include acrylic and papers. Work should be a minimum A5 in size.

I am 99% bed bound most of 2024 & sharing my Sukkah was my 1st piece of work in some time.

My was so special to celebrate Sukkot with others who do not have the space or ability to build their own.

Thank you to my amazing loved ones who worked so hard bringing into physical reality the vision I had been obsessing about for a year!!

Hello Everyone,

Apologies for my prolonged absence. I have been severely ill.

I am not back at work yet & sadly don’t know when that will be.

Still in bed or hospital 99% of time. Awaiting more serious tests & results.

I just wanted to check in & say hello & how much I miss engaging & working with you.

Warmest wishes
Rabbi Judith
