Teshuvah: A Curated Art Exhibit
September 10 to October 31
Beth Tzedec Congregation will be showcasing artists from within the Beth Tzedec Community and across the Greater Toronto Area at Teshuvah, a curated exhibition exploring one of the central themes of the High Holy Day season.
Teshuvah—often translated as “return,” “repentance,” or “renewal”—is a deeply personal and communal journey of reflection, transformation, forgiveness, and hope. Through this exhibition, we will share artwork that enriches the sacred season by engaging the senses and inviting contemplation, conversation and spiritual reflection.
