SUMMARY:Exhibit: Through Our Eyes
DESCRIPTION:We asked Jewish teens across North America to share their experiences through art\, with powerful results. Through diverse media\, they explored history\, memory\, resilience\, connection to Israel\, community\, friendship\, creativity\, and tradition. The Through Our Eyes™ collection features 45 original works\, expressing joy and defiance amid rising antisemitism. This student-led initiative\, with StandWithUs\, empowers teens\, strengthens culture\, and captures a 2026 snapshot of identity and hope.\nFounders: Emma Libowitz\, Ayelet Magder\, Aviela Dennan\, Sophie Moyal\, Ofek Bar-Or.
