Healing Blanket｜We Mend What's Broken, Together

🕊️Healing Blanket | We Mend What’s Broken, Together🕊️

As the world gradually heals, we at JTCA joined a movement born from the heart—through art, with purpose.

Launched by Mental Health IsReal, the Healing Blanket Project invites Jewish communities and allies around the world to co-create a symbolic healing blanket—each canvas a piece of a greater puzzle, stitching together memory, and piecing back our shared hope.

We contributed four pieces, offering not only our voices, but our hearts.

This is more than participation—it is our response, as part of this collective, to the sacred call of tikkun olam—repairing the world.

“Tree of the Heart”

This painting depicts a Tree of Life growing from the shape of Taiwan, symbolizing hope and renewal.

At its center, a Star of David intertwined with a plum blossom represents the harmony between Jewish and Taiwanese cultures.

White flowers and red hearts bloom among the branches, conveying healing and love.

The warm yellow and deep blue palette reflects inner peace and steadfast faith.

Together, the imagery expresses the power of cross-cultural understanding and care—a symbol of spiritual restoration.

 “Wish & Light”

The sky lanterns rise gently, with “Peace” and the Star of David side by side—symbols of cross-cultural understanding and blessing.

Like collective wishes gathering in the sky, they shine a light of hope for the world.

In the distance, the silhouette of Taiwan’s Central Mountain Range quietly stands, representing the island’s resilience and its steadfast support

 “Piecing Back the Light”
Shattered, we once fell silent.But healing is a shared act—each shard of memory, a step toward light.
Together, we rebuild the star that holds our story.
Wholeness, reborn through connection.

 “Rebirth Between Land and Light”

Between Taiwan’s soil and ancient stars, a cracked heart rises, held with care.

Bathed in light, surrounded by blossoms, it blooms again—not despite the pain, but because of it.

🕯️In these canvases, we speak a language that transcends distance: Or (light), Emunah (faith), and Nefesh (soul).

Though born in Taiwan, each brushstroke echoes the deepest prayers of Jewish tradition—Shalom, not just peace, but wholeness.

These works respond not only to the trauma of 10/7, but also to the enduring spirit of the Jewish people—again and again broken, again and again reborn.

We believe that in the Jewish context, healing is not about forgetting—it is about remembering (Zachor) and choosing to rebuild.

🕯️From across the world, we stand with you—in memory, in light, and in the sacred act of healing together.
