Opening Event of the Haverut-Bezalel-Hadassha Art Display
May 23rd, 2011  7:00 pm

Free entrance , All are welcome!!

The opportunity to create provides patients with a way of perceiving themselves as inspirational people with interests and capabilities. This is an opportunity for them to connect with the healthy, creative, and free person that is within every one of us. Even when ill, suffering from physical limitations, and confined to bed we all have the ability to create.

This exhibit displays art works of students of the  Bezalel- Academy of Art and Design, Jerusalem, and patients in the various wards of the hospital: Rehabilitation, Pediatrics, Day Care Pediatrics, Out-patient Pediatrics Surgery, Out-patient Hematology, Pediatric Neurological Clinic, Pediatric Emergency Room, Pediatric Cardiologic Outpatient Clinic and High Risk Pregnancy.
The students' art works express their encounter with the patients and reflect the process they each went through during the year.

In this project students met with hospital's patients on a weekly basis through out the year.
The art works are fruits of the collaborative work of Haverut, Bezalel and Hadassah.

Haverut empowers the medical world – the caregiver, patient and the healing environment - by strengthening a genuine connection between them and the world of spirituality, creativity and community.
The organization was established by Rachel Ettun, in memory of her daughter, Ruth z”l, who passed away from Cystic Fibrosis at the age of 11½.

SPIRIT
Spiritual care is an invitation to meet, to connect to meaning and personal sources of strength, and to engage in life.
CREATIVITY
Creativity is an invitation for the individual to connect to healthy, creative and liberated parts that exist within oneself.  

COMMUNITY
The human link that evolves from the mutual activities between the community members and the hospital's patients brings life, love and hope in the hearts of all.
