About

To honor, to create, to connect: "All Hands 2025" is a community art project honoring the healing journey after sexual assault (SA). In the three months leading up to the Jewish holiday of Passover 2025, Leora will share one video per week of her embroidering a new "Not So Fast (matzah)". From her 2021 piece (shown above): "Making space for authentic healing during Passover drove me to create "Not So Fast (matzah)". We learn that at the moment of learning exodus from slavery was imminent, we made the matzah crackers "in a hurry" to sustain us. Healing, however, doesn't typically happen "in a hurry". The project holds space for the million tiny steps it takes to heal. Steps that are invisible to most, visible to some, and taken by the hero/heroine in his/her/their healing journey. The goal of sharing the work is to contribute to the awareness that this is one of the most common healing journeys in the community. And to increase the services and supports for those experiencing this journey." In videos, participants will see Leora’s hands stitching matzot with mixed media art materials. Both nonverbal videos and voiceover videos discussing weekly themes are offered. There is not an online group forum at this time. A Resources area will accompany videos Per interest - (via Google survey) - there may be a voluntary Zoom call for the project and well as voluntary final presentation of works online and/or haggadah 'zine. Anonymous submissions will be accepted. Leora is not a physician, LCSW, talk therapist or trauma therapist. She is in the role of teaching artist only for this workshop. For immediate support, call RAINN 800-656-4673. Sometimes they need more call operators, so try again if the initial call doesn't go through. Confidentiality: Participants can't "see" other participants. Leora will keep identifying information confidential. The number and general geographic regions of participants may be used for funding efforts to support the ongoing project.
