Coming down by Gili Orr

Coming down by

“Coming down” was featured in Bagels and Lox – Jewish Photographers Unite!

This is, of course, Moses descending Mt. Sinai with the Tablets of Testimony (in Hebrew: לוחות הברית Luchot HaBrit – “the tablets [of] the covenant”).

Photo taken at Hillside Memorial Park and Mortuary, Jewish cemetery, Los Angeles, California. Shot with my Canon PowerShot S5 IS camera. I have no idea who the artist is. I would appreciate any information.

  • Thanks, Mark! I thought it was simply brilliant… or brilliantly simple, for religious art.

    IS this bronze on stone?? It rocks—no pun intended. Love it very much.
    Excellent, excellent.
    Peace,

  • Yes, it is… I love it too… no idea who the artist is. It’s in a Jewish cemetery in LA, on a wall.

    That’s wonderful.
    Samuel our “Theatre creator” son…. is having the role of God… when trying to write in a naive way… the famous Ten Commandments on stone… it is metaphorical… but this one… with Moses emerging from the rocky background has a feeling of livitation.. and then.. at the same time the dimension of humanity….it is really intersting.

  • I thought it was quite special… Thanks, Rosa! Sounds interesting, your theater version, though you give only very little detail;-)

    Remarkable work, Gili!

  • Well, the work is someone else’s ;-) But capturing it well and doing it justice is something, too… Thanks, Cora!!
