October 7th wasn’t just one day—it’s an echo we’ve lived with ever since, its impact unfolding in real time, moment by moment.
October 7th is both a fresh nightmare and a constant presence in our minds. We can’t yet process what has happened to us and to Israel. The war isn’t over, the hostages aren’t home, and there’s no clear plan for the future—so how should we feel? The truth is, we might not fully understand for years to come.
"I don’t know how I feel yet, but I know the only thing I can do is keep painting. I need to paint the images and stories until I find something beautiful in them."
–Avraham Vofsi
HaAliyah is a new body of work by Avraham Vofsi that seeks to begin processing this moment—hamatzav and all its messy complexities. Drawing from his own experiences and the stories of other Israelis and Diaspora Jews, Vofsi brings his signature empathy and rawness to our present struggles. With the structure of classical oil painting as his guide, he asks us to take a closer look at those around us, all of whom are now woven into the unfolding fabric of our shared history.

As an oleh chadash, Vofsi finds himself straddling two worlds—not fully Israeli, but no longer part of the Diaspora. From this unique perspective, he reveals the deep and far-reaching effects of war—whether on a front-line soldier or a young Jewish family in his former home of Australia.
Since October 7th, pain, fear, and despair have followed us daily. With immense sensitivity, Vofsi’s work transforms these feelings into their opposites: love, unity, and the quiet courage we show when we stand up for one another.
