Israeli oils, watercolors exhibited in Walnut Creek

Sign up for Weekday J and get the latest on what's happening in the Jewish Bay Area.

Artists in the show will include Marc Chagall, Yaakov Agam, Alexander Klevan, David Sharir, Shraga Weil and Shmuel Katz.

"You cannot see such a concentration of art anywhere short of going from gallery to gallery to gallery in Israel," said Efi Lubliner, the synagogue's coordinator of the exhibit.

The event is a fund-raiser for the synagogue. Prices will range from under $200 to as high as $7,000.

Safrai, who's going back to Jerusalem after the show, travels around the globe much of the year. His gallery, established in 1935 and the oldest one in Israel, is a family business.

The exhibit, which opened Thursday, is at the synagogue, 74 Eckley Lane. Admission is free, except for tomorrow evening, when a cocktail reception — from 6:30 to 11 p.m. — will cost $10.
