Morning Prayers (1967)

My father enjoyed spending time in Akko(Acre), speaking, learning, and drawing the area's citizens. Akko is approximately 22km from Haifa. In the 1950's, it was a healthy walk filled with opportunities to sit and sketch along the way.

He often spoke about spirituality. Jewish religion and all religions and traditions were important and respected by him. Respect for others and their beliefs was part of the culture his parents taught him.

The scholar in this lithograph sat patiently for my father while he sketched him. The original sketch for this lithograph is in a private collection.

"A picture is worth a thousand words." My father was introspective and expressed his thoughts through his art. His art communicated what was important to him. He took great care of his notes, diaries, lesson books, and art supplies, knowing his art would live on when he was gone.

This lithograph was produced at the end of 1966 and released in 1967.
