Charcoal and chalk. / I based this on an old photograph of a rabbi taken somewhere (unrecorded) in Eastern Europe, before 1930. / This is the first time I’ve shared some of my art other than photos, so am feeling somewhat nervous! Please be gentle! x /

Constructed in 1874, Mea She’arim was one of the first neighborhoods to be built outside the Old City walls of Jerusalem. / She’arim is synonymous with ultra orthodoxy. This neighborhood is a window into a way of life that was practiced in Eastern Europe several centuries ago. Its religious inhabitants focus their lives on Talmudic learning. / Such devotion to religion and learning brings with it a desire for segregation from less observant people and the changing ideas of modernism. / Me’a She’arim is in another sense both miles and years away.

My brother Danny and his wife, had their daughter, both Christened and given a Jewish name at Saint Patrick’s Church, quite cool. / Since its founding by Irish immigrants on Easter morning in 1846, Old St. Patrick’s has been interwoven in the life and history of the City of Chicago. Founded in 1846 as the first English-speaking parish in the city, the current church building was designed in a Romanesque style by two of Chicago’s earliest practicing architects Augustus Bauer and Asher Carter. The cornerstone was laid on May 23, 1853, and the building was dedicated on Christmas Day, 1856. Old St. Patrick’s is one of the few buildings to survive the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. Its survival makes it the oldest public building in the City of Chicago. Inspired by the Celtic art exhibit at the Columbian Expostition of 1893 and the Book of Kells in Ireland, Thomas A. O’Shaughnessy designed, constructed, and personally installed the 15 beautiful stained-glass windows of Old St. Patrick’s between 1912 and 1922. The 12 side windows were inspired by the Celtic designs of Ireland’s Book of Kells.

Yom Kippur – is the Day of Atonement – a day when you make up for all the things you have done wrong and ask God for forgiveness. It is the most important date in the Jewish calendar. / Yom Kippur is a time to think. A time for growth and renewal. This is a good opportunity to think about this time last year: if we had the last year all over again what would we have done differently? / We can all reflect on the following questions: / 1. What does being a good person mean? Am I a good person? In what way am I (or am I not) a good person? / 2. If I could live my life over, what would I change? / 3. What would bring me more happiness than anything in the world? / 4. If I knew I could not fail, what would I set out to do with my life? / 5. What goal left unachieved or project left undone would I most regret next year at this time? Simple questions, but the answers are very complex. Reflection on these answers should really happen all the time, every day, in some form or another. Although only Jewish people observe Yom Kippur, the day’s themes of introspection, renewal, and change are universal. We all need to make time to think about our lives in a more profound way. As Rabbi Stephen Baars puts it, “Yom Kippur is a time to return. A time to dream again the wildest of dreams, and to plan their execution. A time to rethink and regain our refreshing hope in life.” Work in wax, metallic acrylics, pigment, silver leaf and graphite (Number VI in the series) For All My Friends Who Are Observing Yom Kippur, Today. – 9th October 2008 Music – Avinu Malkeinu – Our Father Our King

I know I may be nuts, but I thought this rain-soaked mantis looked like a rabbi. Maybe that’s why they are called “praying mantises” ! / Please let me know if I need to be heavily medicated, or if you see this also. Thanks!!

A central part of the Jewish marriage ceremony is the ketubah (marriage contract) written in the original Aramaic text. In a Jewish marriage, the chatan accepts upon himself various responsibilities which are detailed in the ketubah. His principal obligations are to provide food, shelter and clothing for his wife, and to be attentive to her emotional needs. The protection of the rights of a Jewish wife is so important that the marriage may not be solemnized until the contract has been completed. The document is signed by two witnesses, and has the standing of a legally binding agreement. The ketubah is the property of the kallah and she must have access to it throughout their marriage. It is often written amidst beautiful artwork, to be framed and displayed in the home. / The image shows the final touches being added before the groom and his witnesses sign the ketubah

2009 marks the 250th anniversary of Robert Burns, the national poet of Scotland whose words are sung the world over every New Year (“Auld Lang Syne”). The t-shirt features a close-up of the bard from the famous Alexander Naismith painting of 1787. 2009 also marks the launch of the Homecoming Scotland initiative by the Scottish Government with a year round programme of events to celebrate Scotland’s great contribution to the world. It’s reckoned that for every single Scot at home there are at least another five living overseas with Scottish blood coursing through their veins, so if everyone comes, it’s going to be some party! This t-shirt commemmorates the great man and would make a great gift for lovers of Burns the world over.

Mixed media on coloured paper. In 2008 (Jewish year 5769) I was commissioned to do an artwork for presentation to the Mayor of Ra’anana, Israel, on the ocassion of Rosh Hashanah (Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year. A ceremonial horn, called a “shofar” is blown, reminding Jews that G-d is king.). / This mixed media drawing of a shofar being blown is one of a number of drawings I did as preliminary pieces for the final commissioned item. Rosh Hashanah is called “Yom T’ruah” (the day of the shofar blast). / The shofar says, “Wake up from your (moral) sleep. You are asleep. Get up from your slumber. You are in a deep sleep. Search for your behaviour. Become the best person you can. Remember G-d, the One Who created you.” (Mishneh Torah, Laws of Repentance). The expert who blows (or “blasts” or “sounds”) the shofar is termed the Tokea (lit. “Blaster”) or Ba’al Tekia (lit. “Master of the Blast”). The shofar is used mainly on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. It is blown in synagogues to mark the end of the fast at Yom Kippur, and blown at four particular occasions in the prayers on Rosh Hashanah. / The shofar is mentioned frequently in the Hebrew Bible, the Talmud and rabbinic literature. The blast of a shofar emanating from the thick cloud on Mount Sinai made the Israelites tremble in awe (Exodus 19, 20). / In the Temple in Jerusalem, the shofar was sometimes used together with the trumpet. On New-Year’s Day the principal ceremony was conducted with the shofar, which instrument was placed in the centre with a trumpet on either side; it was the horn of a wild goat and straight in shape, being ornamented with gold at the mouthpiece. On fast-days the principal ceremony was conducted with the trumpets in the centre and with a shofar on either side. / On those occasions the shofarot were rams’ horns curved in shape and ornamented with silver breast at the mouthpieces. According to the Talmud, a shofar may be made from the horn of any animal except that of a cow or calf, although a ram is preferable. / A crack or hole in the shofar affecting the sound renders it unfit for ceremonial use. A shofar may not be painted in colours, but it may be carved with artistic designs.

Robert Burns (25 January 1759 – 21 July 1796) (also known as Rabbie Burns, Scotland’s favourite son, the Ploughman Poet, the Bard of Ayrshire and in Scotland as simply The Bard1) was a Scottish poet and a lyricist. He is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland, and is celebrated worldwide. He is the best known of the poets who have written in the Scots language, although much of his writing is also in English and a ‘light’ Scots dialect, accessible to an audience beyond Scotland. He also wrote in standard English, and in these pieces, his political or civil commentary is often at its most blunt. / This statue stands in Stanley Park.
