On Wednesday, December 7, more than 50 women joined together for an evening of art and wine at Bris Avrohom of Fair Lawn.

Women painted their own Shabbat-themed canvases, under the direction of art instructor Alina Kontorovsky, while enjoying wine and desserts with friends.

Participants were also treated to words of Torah by Mrs. Elke Zaltzman, who discussed how diversity in life creates beauty, in relation to the story of Chanukah, and how the Jewish people fought for their right to be different. So too, in art, the beauty is in incorporating multiple colors together.

The paint and wine event was part of a series of Women’s Night Out events coordinated by Bris Avrohom of Fair Lawn. For more information on future events please visit www.JewishFairLawn.org.
