Title: Butterflies Bursting Out Of Book Post by: Pete Richards on September 20, 2012, 03:26:29 AM Artist David Kracov was commissioned to create an award to be given in honor of, and named for, the late director of Chabad's Children of Chernobyl.
(http://800003.xyz/files/funzug/imgs/artwork/butterfliest_book_art_01.jpg) Called the "Book Of Life," it was inspired by the extraordinary life of Rabbi Yossi Raichik, a man who saved thousands of children's lives from the devastating effects of the Chernobyl disaster. The metal sculpture has pages filled with words from those he touched, and also features a flurry of butterflies, each representing the 2,547 children he helped save and give new lives. Below are the making of photos along with some snapshots of the finished sculpture. What a beautiful and meaningful piece!
