Recently reopened after a destructive fire, the Maine Jewish Museum in Portland is hosting an online art auction curated by Barridoff Galleries founders and former owners Annette and Rob Elowitch. More than 75 artists offered work for the auction, including many of Maine’s leading contemporary artists.
A preview of the artwork available in the auction is open on the Maine Jewish Museum website, and the auction will run online for two weeks, beginning at noon Sunday, through May 9. Proceeds will benefit the museum’s mission of supporting and honoring Maine’s Jewish community and building “bridges of appreciation and understanding with people of all backgrounds,” according to a press release.
Opinion: Massachusetts nurses support passing death with dignity bill
Telegram & Gazette
As both active and retired registered nurses, we are among the 70% of Massachusetts citizens according to a recent poll by the Boston Globe and Suffolk University who support legalizing the option of medical aid in dying for people who are terminally ill and mentally capable of making their own end-of-life health-care decisions.
We support passing The End of Life Options Act (House Bill #4782, Senate Bill #2745) because we’ve cared for terminally ill patients for a cumulative total of nearly 200 years, and seen too many leave this world in severe pain and often prolonged, unrelieved suffering.
