Tova and The MEM Project (including assistant artists Sarah Magaril and Ada Aroneanu) partnered with Shaarei Tefillah in Newton to work with their community to design and paint a mural inspired by Tu B'Shvat (the Jewish holiday celebrating trees) and Eitz Chayim (tree of life). Over 100 participants of all ages engaged in the process including a brainstorming/learning workshop to generate ideas, and two days of painting to turn their ideas into a cohesive mural to be enjoyed for many years to come.
