Waltuch Gallery
The Waltuch Art Gallery infuses Jewish art and/or works by Jewish artists into our shared cultural experiences. The exhibits are designed to ignite imagination and encourage people to connect the visual arts with philosophical and spiritual concepts through a creative Jewish lens.
The Waltuch Gallery exhibits rotate monthly, and feature the work of painters, photographers, digital artists and other creative designers.
Exhibits are free and open to the community, and all work is typically for sale. A portion of the proceeds support programming efforts at the JCC. The JCC also hosts an artist talkback dessert reception for each show.
Outdoor gallery exhibits are displayed throughout the Kaplen JCC Campus and indoor gallery exhibits are on the second floor of the main JCC building.

Paintings by Robert Peckar
Robert Peckar is an award-winning artist who has exhibited his work throughout New Jersey, Florida, and New York. He is also an attorney who appreciates the creative outlet painting provides from his work in law.
Bob’s oil paintings often reflect his architectural perception and a passion for the colors, people, and shapes found in everyday life. A Holocaust theme painting is in the permanent collection of the Jewish Museum of Florida and a painting based on 9 /11 is in the permanent collection of the National 9 /11 Memorial Museum in New York. Bob graduated from Rutgers University in 1968 with a major in art history. He received his law degree from Columbia University in 1972 and began studying painting in 1977. In 1978 he co-founded Peckar & Abramson, an international law firm specializing in representation of members of the construction industry.
