Hillel finished his mural at the Edlavitch JCC today after a few days of painting, including in unexpected snow! The fallen leaves were painted by the JCC’s preschoolers, faculty, and staff. Daily candle lightings by local VIP guests will be at 2pm daily, weather permitting (except Saturday).

The mural was covered by the Washington Jewish Week.

The mural was also the backdrop for a family concert that the JCC put on in the parking lot on the fourth night.
