As guests arrived, they located their unique name tags and were then feted to a spectrum of Kol HaOt works of art on display, giving participants a sense of the genre of “teachable art” that is at the essence of Kol HaOt. 

During the course of the evening, the audience was exposed to two of Kol HaOt's Illuminating Educational Experiences. Actively involved, the participants experienced firsthand the way Kol HaOt engages and  teaches through artistic media. 

The evening’s journey continued by describing each of the ten projects that we hope will be accomplished through this compelling new venture. The group was then solicited to help in a variety of ways: engaging KHO for programming for groups, families and smahot, networking: connecting KHO with the right people that will grow this vision, and funding: actively looking for funders and investors that resonate with the KHO vision.

The evening was a resounding success on many different levels.  Kol HaOt is poised to make its mark on a Jewish world thirsting for its creative and animated programming.

We did our Mapping the Journey program for 180 Wexner Heritage Fellows, at the David Citadel Hotel in Jerusalem last Wednesday. Following a poetic audio-visual program which explored the various uses of maps- both literary and imaginary, and the historical mapping of pilgrimages to Israel, David Moss shared the maps in his works, including a new psychic map of his daily bike route from his home to his studio. This map was created in honor of this Wexner Heritage presentation. 
After the frontal presentation, participants received a hands-on assignment, exploring their emotional temperature towards Israel, and were sent out with maps to complete during their week in Israel. 
Thank you Elka and Jay for this wonderful opportunity!
