Shuk Machane YehudaRecently I've found myself drawn to the crowded market place and forgoing the spotless, air conditioned, modern mega-markets that have taken over Israel. | To the Gentle GiantsThis painting is dedicated to Israel’s young men who cherish and value life. When fortunate enough to return home from the army whole, safe, and well, they do it with gratitude rather than bravado, and waste no time in finding love, establishing families and pursuing productive and creative endeavors. | Goats in the Negevconte, charcoal, mixed media |
Song of the Grasses"Know that each and every shepherd has his own unique tune…" (Song of the Grasses by Naomi Shemer based on Rebbe Nachman) Kids who have the opportunity to grow up in Eretz Yisrael can be both as tough as the basalt stone that they sit on in the fields of the Golan and as sensitive and compassionate as the biblical shepherds of Israel. While we once hung up our harps as we wept by the rivers of Babylon, you can now see our children singing their own melodies under the willows and eucalyptus trees | The ConvertThe Convert: Your people will be my people This pastel drawing depicts the ger tzedek (the righteous and halachic convert), who stands with her people as a true act of compassion and unity – transcending politics. |
