Rothenberg exhibition "Fire & Water" is the title of the art exhibit featuring the husband and wife team of Joani and Jeff Rothenberg scheduled from Oct. 15 through Nov. 15 at the JCC. Many in the community are familiar with Joani's designs on clothing and most recently as the creative illustrator of author Rabbi Sandy Sasso's books. Jeff is a physician and an artist in his own right. His works of glass are beautiful and functional. I have had the pleasure of watching him work with glass at the Art Center as he transforms a blob of glass into a fabulous bowl. Take some time to enjoy the exhibit.
