Mordechai Benarrosh, a 59 year-old Lubavitcher from Israel, is selling reproductions of his magnificent oil on canvas painting of the Rebbe.
This was his last painting.
The married father of 3 was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. He drew the portrait in the first years after his diagnosis, before the degenerative disorder of the central nervous system impaired his functions.
In the painting, the Rebbe is seen smiling leaning on the shtender with a closed sefer nearby – a familiar position after prayers or delivering a sicha in 770.
Benarrosh, today a patient with 24 hour care, is selling reproductions of this and other art work to cover his medical bills (that are not included in his health insurance).
For more information, contact Mordechai at +972-4-822-4222 or +972-50-728-3353.
Is there an email or website to order???
Sorry I think you may have got your facts incorrect. The artist to whom the Rebbe said his painting is “better than the original” and explained about the hands is Raphael Nouril who lives in London. As beautiful as this rendition is, it is very different to the Nouril version.
when this picture was painted by another artist – the rebbe told him to make the hand not interlocked but rather one on top of eache other. when the rebbe saw the picture he said that it was better than the original!
a stunning picture! wishing a refuah shleimah to the talented artist.
What is the cost and can it be ordered on line?
i see they put in blue eyes!!!!!!!!!!!! lol
