Issachar Ber Ryback was born in Yelisavetgrad (now Kirovograd, Ukraine). This was also the town where some of my family emigrated from. His father was murdered during a Pogrom there, around the late 1890s (after which my family left). Ber Ryback made a series of graphic images in remembrance of Jewish life there before it was destroyed. His art is similar to Chagall’s and largely influenced by Jewish Folk art.

'This is gloriously imaginative and colourful stuff. At first, these images seem whimsical and sweet, but there's a dark, unsettling vein running through every one of them.' -- Claire Howlett-- Editor, ImagineFX magazine.

Such work by Ber Ryback expresses without words the necessity, the obligation, for the world to stand for Israel, a small piece of the earth that only Jews could make productive, regardless of what others may think or believe. If the rest of the world will not take that position willingly, it will be compelled to do so by a God no one yet fully knows.
