Pop Art Rabbi's take on Pittsburgh shootings
THE JEWISH NEWS OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
BY Sue Fishkoff
Check out the stunning, evocative art on the cover of this week’s Hanukkah issue of J. The Jewish News of Northern California by Yitzchok Moully. It combines imagery that evokes the Hanukkah menorah, the 11 lives lost in the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting and the Tree of Life that is the synagogue’s namesake. Dubbed the Pop Art Rabbi, he worked as a youth rabbi at a Chabad center in New Jersey for 10 years before embarking on his artistic career. He created the painting used on our cover two days after the Pittsburgh shootings at the Tree of Life synagogue, “where eleven souls were killed just for being Jewish and coming to synagogue to pray,” he writes on his website.
