The Story & The Cause

The Story

It began as a gift…

This work of art was created for a rabbi as a gesture of gratitude and has evolved into a gift that continues to give spiritually and supportively. 

The History of The Star of David by Marc Bennett was first seen in a public space in 2014 at the Aspen JCC in Colorado. From the moment it was hung, it became a spark for conversation with it’s engaging jewel tones on metal and story telling of one of the oldest symbols in the world. 

Now its largest iteration is proudly and permanently displayed at the Healing Garden of the Cancer Institute at Soroka Medical Center
