In October, a special event was held at the home of entrepreneur Julia Haart in New York to launch The NOVA Collection, a collaboration between the WZO North America Delegation and ESEK. The exhibition presented art, jewelry, ceramics, and Judaica created by survivors of the NOVA Music Festival, offering a path toward personal healing and direct economic support for small Israeli businesses.
We invite you to explore the collection online, hear directly from the artists through their stories and videos, and consider purchasing a piece for yourself or as a gift in solidarity and hope.
A special thank you goes to Shye Klein, a Canadian-Israeli photographer and survivor of the NOVA Music Festival, who shared his powerful story with us. Shye has been a driving force behind this collection and continues to inspire through his resilience and artistry. He also highlighted two causes close to his heart that we are honored to share with you:
SafeHeart — providing mental health support for NOVA survivors
Fundraiser for the family of NOVA survivor Roei Shalev — honoring his memory and supporting his loved ones
It was a moving evening that connected art, community, and Israel, demonstrating the power of creativity as a bridge from trauma to renewal.
