Dayenu by Shari Pedowitz is a personal outpouring of joy and gratitude, a vibrant abstract work celebrating her connection to Passover. As a Jewish artist, her digital artwork is a piece of her soul poured onto the canvas. The shimmering colors pop – rich blues like the depths of the Red Sea, vibrant confetti hues evoking our Jewish people, and glimmers of gold reflecting the divine light that guided her ancestors to the Land of Milk and Honey. It's a visceral response to the Exodus from Egypt to Israel, not a retelling, but a feeling. Each energetic stroke, each layered texture, is a personal link to generations past, an echo of resilience and faith.
 
"Dayenu" – the word itself is a quiet moment of reflection, a recognition of the countless blessings, the miracles both grand and subtle. But Shari's Dayenu is a shout, a dance, a vibrant expression of her Jewish identity. It's the awe of standing at the edge of the Red Sea, the relief of finally breathing free, the profound joy of belonging to a people with a story that resonates through time.
 
This is a conversation with our history, a visual embrace of collective memory. It's an invitation into her heart, a glimpse of her connection to the traditions, the struggles, and the triumphs of our people. Dayenu is a prayer, a celebration, a testament to the enduring power of faith, and a personal "thank you" for all the miracles, big and small, that have led her to this moment. Next year in Jerusalem!
