The Painting
Created in 1972 by Jack B. Weinger, this prophetic oil painting preceded the 1973 Yom Kippur War. It is an iconic representation of "Kibbutz Galuyot" (ingathering of the exiles, Isaiah 27:13).
The hands symbolize the Five Books of the Torah, the generations of Jews rising from the ashes of the Holocaust, and the rebirth of the State of Israel.
This masterpiece has been reproduced as a canvas giclée and continues to inspire viewers around the world with its powerful message of redemption and hope.
Artist Proof Samples
From Vision to Reality
World-class sculptor Tato Demchinsky, inspired by The Great Shofar canvas giclée hanging on the wall in the factory, spent three months creating the mold for an artist proof 3D sculpture.
Upon completion of the manufacturing process, he presented Shofar So Great founder, Robert Weinger, with this gift—a tangible representation of the prophetic vision in bronze.
The sculpture captures the essence of the original painting, transforming the two-dimensional masterpiece into a three-dimensional work of art that can be experienced from every angle.
