If the Ohr HaChaim was alive today I would have asked permission before sharing this painting with the eyes of the world, because, in truth I do not know what this giant truly looked like. But during my painting process, I prayed deeply and spoke to serious lovers of Torah for guidance and blessings in attempt of respectfully depicting an imageless being.

I ask forgiveness to heaven and the Ohr Hachaim, If I depicted wrongly.

But please know the intention in my every brush stroke was to express this Teachers True Joy and Love for study and Life of Torah.

The story and artistic journey of how this image- this painting came to be is written briefly on the back of the canvas.. (Please scroll through to see)

This painting is based off of a drawing from a Dream of Rav Moshe Shamir of Israel who I met at the burial site of the Ohr HaChaim, in Jerusalem in 2026.

I implore you all to learn at least one of the Wonderful Ohr Hachaim passages.
