Art of Living Gallery
On October 30, 2016, we were thrilled to welcome more than 400 community members to Temple Isaiah for our annual event, Art of Living. In addition to great food and good company, the event raised a record amount of funding for our vital services here in the East Bay. Plus we had the pleasure of hearing from renowned New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast, who entertained us while telling the deeply moving story of caring for her aging parents.
Thank you to all who attended and we will see you next year. Please scroll through the photos below.
