Libi Astaire & Decoupage for the Soul Decoupage for the Soul was founded in 2001 by Libi Astaire, an artist, writer and video director living in Jerusalem. Libi was born in Kansas City, Mo., grew up in Prairie Village, Kansas and spent most of her childhood trying to figure out why Dorothy preferred Kansas to Oz. That question started her on a search which led to studying theatre in London, poetry in New York and Chassidic thought in Jerusalem. For several years she was the manager of Colors of Jerusalem, an innovative Judaica art gallery located in the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem's Old City. It was there that she began to see a way to successfully piece together her interests in art, poetry, Chassidic wisdom and the mysteries of the Hebrew language. The result is Decoupage for the Soul - a unique forum for Jewish thought and Jewish art. Now that she has found her way to Jerusalem, Libi is at last able to enthusiastically agree with Dorothy that "there's no place like home," and it is her hope that all Jews will find their way back home speedily and within our days. |
