Artist Naum Katsenelson Exhibit Featured at JFS’s RafaelSpiritual Healing Center

An exhibit by locally renowned artist, Naum Katsenelson, showcasinghis watercolor and pastel paintings, ran through May at the RafaelSpiritual Healing Center of Jewish Family Service. This exhibit, spon-sored by theMizelMuseum and theHealing Center, intro-duced Katsenelson’s poignant street scenes in Israel, quietstreets of Nice, parks of Spain, canals in Venice, rainyroads of ancient Rome, and exploration of nature, whichreflect a warmth, richness, and beauty. Katsenelson is amember of the Mizel Museum ArtistAlliance (MMAA).

This was one of an ongoing series ofart exhibits, curated by theMuseum,that have been on display at theHealing Center since 2007. CynthiaHeller, Healing Center coordinator,recognizing the healing power ofart, contacted the Mizel Museumabout having a visual component inthe Healing Center. The Museumdecided that showcasing solo artistsfrom MMAA, in rotating shows,would be the best use of the extraor-dinary JFS space. Each MMAA artistwill have the opportunity to present a solo exhibition, curated by theMuseum.

The Rafael Spiritual Healing Center is a welcoming place and networkof resources, support groups and programs that provide comfort,strength and education on spirituality and healing.
