THE JEWISH VOICE

| “Blessed is the Lord,” a mosaic by Walter Feldman |
RHODE ISLAND---Peace, blessings and health have been important words in the life of The Miriam Hospital since its founding by a group of women in Providence as a place for Jewish doctors to practice and a home for Jewish patients. Today, The Miriam’s roots are nowhere more evident than in the artwork on its walls. Art is everywhere, much of it with a Jewish focus. Walk into the main entrance and to the right is a showcase with a constantly changing exhibit. The latest is a display of beautiful Seder plates. To the left is a large round mosaic, “Blessed is the Lord,” the creation of Walter Feldman of Providence, who also created several paintings on display throughout the first floor of the hospital building. Feldman, a professor emeritus at Brown University, has created art in places around Providence, including in Temple Beth-El and Temple Emanu-El. [
