PRESCHOOL 20TH ANNIVERSARY TILE MOSAIC INSTALLED AND CELEBRATED
BERESHEET MOSAIC
Temple Emanu-El Preschool announces the installation of
a 20th Anniversary Tile Mosaic depicting Beresheet - The
Creation. The piece was created as a community art project
led by Sandy Cohen-Wynn, Temple art director, with direction
from artist Paul Lanier. Ms. Cohen-Wynn solicited designs
based on the story of Beresheet from current and alumni
preschool families. She received drawings from both children
and adults that were used in designing the mosaic. The tiles
were cut and designed over the course of a full year with the
participation of many congregational constituencies and the
mosaic was installed in January.
The installation is found on the west side staircase of the
Temple between the 1st and 2nd floors. The mosaic should be
viewed by starting on the 2nd floor landing near the preschool
office, then descending past the first four days of Creation on
the upper flight and the fifth and sixth days and Shabbat on
the lower. The tiles are framed by four Torah scrolls bordered
with tiles inspired by an architectural feature found on the
Main Sanctuary building.

TORAH AND TACOS
Tuesday, May 13, 6:30 pm
We are lucky to live in a city featuring the best taquerias
in the world, each neighborhood featuring its own favorite.
We will gather monthly to meet at a local joint and study
some Torah over tacos, burritos, and horchata.
This month we are heading out to the Castro and the "Little
Castle", otherwise known as Taqueria El Castillito (136
Church st., just north of Market, across from Safeway).
Spring is in full bloom so celebrate with El Castillito's
famous homemade juices and smoothies. Donıt forget the
super chicken quesadilla or chile relleno. Meet neighbors
and new friends over Torah study and burrito indulgence.
Vamos!
