When I first saw it over a year ago I found it both beautiful and moving. I also find that it evokes one aspect of Mesorah: the passing on of Judaism from one generation to the next.

I was trying to think of what I could add to the still-life to make it more boyish, but my kids don't play much sports. They are addicted to certain computer games, but that's not something I wanted to celebrate in a painting. One does Boy Scouts, but the other dropped out. I'll have to give it some thought, for when I'm ready to pick up this theme again. Raizy, thanks.

I like the idea of adding a baseball, or basketball, or a cast-off sneaker, or some other object that reminds you of a typical boy's life. Just beautiful.

You explore Judaism through fiction. I use art to try to connect to Judaism. Daniel, in a way, we do similar work. You explore Judaism through fiction. I use art to try to connect to Judaism.
