Be the Change is an art and activism initiative inspired by the Jewish tenet of tzedek, justice, and drawing from the Tzedakah box. In Boston, Cincinnati, L.A., and online, Be the Change helps viewers connect to issues of injustice and empowers them to become agents of change. Be the Change aims to help us all become “artivists” – activists through art.
Conceived and organized by Israeli-American artist Caron Tabb in partnership with the Jewish Arts Collaborative (JArts), Tabb was inspired to create the exhibit concept in partnership with Ruth Messinger (former CEO and President of American Jewish World Service). This year, we are thrilled to partner with the Louis D. Brown Peace Institute as we kick off our annual participation in the Mother’s Day Walk for Peace!
Our service and subsequent kiddush talk will feature Be the Change co-founders Ruth Messinger and Caron Tabb, artist Jordan Hendrickson and LDBPI Founder, President, and CEO Chaplain Clementina Chéry to share on the power of art and bringing the community together through action.
