Words and pictures on these postcards, describe and become souvenirs from our aliyah (literally, “ascent” = immigration to Israel). This collaborative project was commissioned by the Center for Jewish Culture and Creativity in Los Angeles, in 1993, to kick off our year-long residency at the Arad Arts Project / WUJS in Israel.
