“The Children Are Our Future” Chair
“THE KINDER (children) ARE OUR FUTURE”
I was told as a child that “the children are our future,” but then over the course of three years I was sexually abused by two teachers at school and my entire future changed. This chair represents the ideals we place on childhood, as well as the harsh reality of what all too often actually takes place. As I have grown, I have learned to understand that in life, we can strive to choose to take with us the beautiful elements of our past as we move into the future. And the cultural beauty and love for Judaism and my ancestry, shown in the chair through the symbols of Hamsas and Stars of David, is what I bring with me into my current life.

In 2016, Channan Tzvi (Kenny) of West Hartford started collecting Hamsas and began his journey reconnecting to his Jewish Culture via the appreciation of this ancient symbol from a design based approach. The Hamsa symbols enriched Kenny's life by providing a pathway that encouraged him to explore his Judaism and ancestry in a way he had not thought possible. During the Covid-19 Pandemic, while living in New York, he began utilizing common Hamsa charms as a meditative art form, gluing Hamsas together to create different sculptural objects. Hamsas of Munkatch was formalized in 2022, and a retail website jewishjoy.co was launched in 2023 with further adaptations of that initial #JewishJoy.
