“If I am not for myself, who is for me? And if I am only for myself, what am I? And if not now, when?” HILLEL
The Rebbe
Yechi Adoneinu Moreinu V'Rabbeinu Melech HaMoshiach L'Olam Va'ed !!!
By the Grace of G-d5th of Kislev, 5728Brooklyn, N.Y.
Mr. ...Detroit, Mich.
Greeting and Blessing:
…
The essential aspect of true Jewish warmth and enthusiasm is that it expresses itself in practical deeds. For, however important the inspiration and feeling, the essential thing is that these should be translated into practical accomplishments…
The point is that those who have been Divinely gifted in art, whether sculpture or painting and the like, have the privilege of being able to convert an inanimate thing, such as a brush, paint and canvas, or wood and stone, etc., into living form... In a deeper sense, it is the ability to transform to a certain extent the material into spiritual, even where the creation is in still life, and certainly where the artistic work has to do with living creatures and humans. How much more so if the art medium is used to advance ideas, especially reflecting Torah and Mitzvoth, which would raise the artistic skill to its highest level.
…the ultimate purpose …impress and inspire the viewers with higher emotions and concepts of Yiddishkeit imbued with the spirit of Chassidus, and make them, too, vehicles of disseminating Yiddishkeit in their environment, and particularly through the educational institutions.

Baseball & Ballentine ( with Mel Allen )
Circus of mordant tongues
wailing ancient incantations
recede within your inner ear.
Let the soda bottle hum.
Infuse pink bubble gum memories
with saffron butterflies on horseback.
It is time to fly madcap somersaults across the imaginative sky that is
the territory of your fertile seed.
