 “Fighting Fire With Fire” at The Gary Rosenthal Collection (www. collectgaryrosenthal.com) - Sun., Feb. 4, 1:00 – 3:00 PM

Create Shabbat Candlesticks for Jewish families touched by the wild fires in California. The Gary Rosenthal Collection is fighting fire with fire! Join an open studio where participants help create glass mosaics for two pairs of Shabbat candlesticks. One pair will be donated to a family in California touched by the fire, while the second set will be picked up by the participant (at the studio or at Laurie Diener's home in Columbia) for personal use.

Two styles of candlesticks are available. A $20 deposit reserves your spot at this open studio event and will be applied towards whichever candlesticks you wish to make. Only one ticket is required per family. The Gary Rosenthal Collection is reducing the cost of these candlesticks to two for the price of one so that a family in California can receive their Shabbat candlesticks at no cost to you or them.

Gary, who is a world-renowned artist (and the Dieners' first-cousin), will give studio tours. Wine and refreshments will be served. Open to all ages – family participation is encouraged. More details and sign-up here: https://californiashabbat2.eventbrite.com
