In a 30 ft RV, overlayed by 25 ft murals of a menorah on a black background, he will be making appearances at menorah lightings all around the tri-state area, throughout the holiday. Each successive night, as the Chanukah candles are being kindled, he will paint the night’s new light onto the menorah on the canvas. During the event, passersby will be given the chance to interact with the piece by pledging an action they will take towards vanquishing darkness, and writing them onto the mural in metallic colors. These pledges will not only physically illuminate the black canvas, they will also ultimately add real, spiritual light into the world.I

n conjunction with a menorah lighting, #LightOverDarkness is a project that fuses the joy of an artistic experience with the inspiration of a spiritual gathering, promotes community building among people from all walks of the Jewish world, and galvanizes participants to actively outshine the darkness, each with their own acts of light.

#LightOverDarkness is in memory of the 11 killed at  the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, PA.
