Interactive, Educational Art Experiences
Kol HaOt's Educational Art Experiences are high-quality, hour and a half art workshops in Israel geared toward North American tourists to the country. Participants engage in a meaningful way with various Jewish values, texts and themes, through the magical power of the arts. The hands-on, interactive project enables every member of a group or mission to come home with a memorable creation from their experience.

How can a map reflect one’s vision, dreams or values? Explore the personal meaning of Israel using imaginative maps. This is accomplished by incorporating sources on the Land of Israel, poetry, midrash, art and pilgrimages, showcasing artistic maps of Israel through the ages, and showing how physical geography merges with the spiritual. Participants create an artistic map reflecting their personal experiences and connections to the land.
