“With my art, I try to bring out the beauty of living a religious life and of God’s creation. Talent isn’t a contradiction to Judaism.” (Artist’s statement). Interesting to note the pious and deeply traditional artist omitted from this work the spire affixed to the apex of the Dome of the Rock, likely in accordance with his credo of not replicating the symbols of another faith.
