\"image<\/a>This year\u2019s Rosh Hashanah cover art was created by Elaine Arenson in 2024 for Chai Cancer Care, the British Jewish community\u2019s national cancer support organization. \u201cThis is my tree of Chai, my tree of light,\u201d she wrote about the image. \u201cThrough the art group, we find creativity, renewal, community and exceptional care. We discover we are so much more than a cancer diagnosis.\u201d<\/p>\n

There is a story behind the centre\u2019s annual card, which is selected from works created by Chai clients who attend art workshops. In 2013, a Chai client received a Rosh Hashanah card and told the centre: \u201cIt was so bright and cheerful. It lifted my spirits and gave me courage and strength when I needed it most.\u201d<\/p>\n

So, the brief to workshop participants is simple: create an image that reflects the warmth, light, joy and hope at this special time of year, and the tangible impact Chai support has on its clients. A quote from the artist always accompanies the image, explaining the sentiment and inspiration behind the design.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The centre\u2019s Rosh Hashanah cards not only deliver good wishes but are also a source of income for Chai. They are available to buy blank or with a printed message and as ecards. To purchase some, email jackistanton@chaicancercare.org<\/a>. For more information about Chai Cancer Care, visit chaicancercare.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
