by COLlive Editor · COLliveOn Sunday, June 7, 2026, at 1pm, The Juneberry Gallery opens the summer season with a gala reception for its newest exhibit: The Jewish American Experience in the Medina shel Chesed. Light refreshments and a roundtable for sharing the experience is planned. Visit: www.juneberrygallery.com/exhibitions for details.
A collection of fine art paintings and drawings, the exhibit portrays not only the flavor of Jewish life in America but also conveys the blessed security this Medina shel Chesed has given Jews to engage creatively with peace of mind.
On view from June 7 – August 31, 2026, several special events in collaboration with the show have been scheduled, including an auction of artworks by renowned Chassidic artist Rivka Siegel, z”l. Visit: www.juneberrygallery.com/info-events,
The exhibit’s curated display includes a grouping of American landscapes drawn in charcoal by talented artist and book illustrator Lloyd Bloom, a local Crown Heights resident.
The gallery is also pleased to exhibit an array of colorful original and quality Giclee prints and drawings from Sara Epstein, Moshe Schwecky, Blima Nechama Spetner and Shiran Zaray-Mizrahi – American artists living in Israel.
Gifted artist Miriam Rappoport, whose ground-breaking exhibit, A Taste of Teiman, was featured last year in the Juneberry Gallery, returns with a charming group of oil paintings depicting Jewish moments in time in Crown Heights.
The Juneberry Gallery is also honored to present the masterful artworks of Russian painters Abram Aminov and Victor Ostapenko – both of whom, after immigrating to America, have enjoyed the freedom here to pursue their artistic creativity and talent in the arts. Victor is the artistic director for the prestigious Jewish Folks Craft Guild.
Multi-Media artist Judith Tantleff- Napoli returns to the gallery with a new piece reflecting her grandparents’ journey to America. Susan Rosnebluth’s Kosher adds a touch of whimsy to the exhibit.
Last but not least, up and coming artist, Chaya Werner’s The Rebbe in Prayer, is one of the best portraits we’ve seen of the Lubavitcher Rebbe. Chaya comes from a talented family of artists and musicians; she is the great-niece of artist Hugh Miller whose artworks hang in such vaunted museums as the Smithsonian and more locally in The Brooklyn Museum of Art.
The gallery will be open most Sundays from 1 – 4pm and by appointment. There is no charge to visit the gallery.
On June 14, 2026 the Juneberry Gallery will host the 12th Annual Shleimus HaAretz Conference in honor of Gimmel Tammuz. To Learn More and RSVP (required): www.juneberrygallery.com/shleimushaaretzconference
The Juneberry Gallery is located at 1714 President Street in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, New York 11213. Visit www.juneberrygallery.com to learn more.
