Mordechai Rosenstein - Judaica Art
DGLM Gallery has a spectacular selection of art from the legendary Mordechai Rosenstein.
May his memory be a blessing.
Mordechai Rosenstein, a painter and calligrapher whose brightly colored illuminations of Hebrew texts adorn countless Jewish homes, offices, and synagogues, died on July 9, 2024, in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania. He was 90.
The Times of Israel reported on Rosenstein’s passing;
His signature pieces featured Hebrew letters that he stretched and manipulated, with bright swaths of colors weaving in and out of the ensuing shapes — a vibrant combination of ‘60s pop art and the illuminated Hebrew manuscripts of the Middle Ages. Synagogues and Jewish organizations often present Rosenstein prints to honorees, with text appropriate to their service or occupations. One of his best-known pieces, based on the Biblical phrase “Justice, justice, you shall pursue” (Deuteronomy 16:20), is a frequent gift for Jewish lawyers and judges.
Rosenstein was a dear friend and frequent visitor to DGLM Gallery. Arik has proudly carried Rosenstein's stunning art for decades, and DGLM is honored to continue that tradition.
