ronsglass – Ron's Glass

From Buffalo to Uvalde to Highland Park…

I made this glass after Buffalo. Then I put it away.

I returned it to my picture window after Uvalde, hoping to take it down after a week —

and Never have to put it back up.

Sadly, the Highland Park horror occurred, and the glass was back up once again.

I took it down again.

I hope I will never have to go looking for it again.

Sunrise – Sunset

This piece is special to me.

It recalls Parshat B’reishit – Genesis, Chapter 1 – “And there was light

The first two photos are daytime pics.

The 3rd is nighttime.

I used a bright copper patina and it made all the difference in the night view

The 4th is how my picture window looks at this moment.

And the last photo is the nighttime view from outside.

I like that people walking by at night get to enjoy the view.

Nahalal – Ann Arbor’s Sister “Moshav”

Nahalal is a Moshav in Israel and is the “Sister City” of the Jewish Federation of Greater Ann Arbor. A group of women recently traveled to Nahalal and commissioned me to create a piece of art to present to the Moshav.

Above is the finished piece; below is an aerial view of the Moshav. Note the fields radiating out from the central living space. I also wanted to include my initial sketch (minus the iconic water tower that needed to be included!)

The Hebrew Day School of Ann Arbor

My children attended, and now my grandchildren attend the HDS.

I created this piece of stained glass art using the school’s logo.

I’m looking forward to sharing it with the community at the JCC in Ann Arbor.

Caduceus In Green

The Caduceus, a winged staff with two serpents wrapped around, is often used as the symbol for medicine.

It seemed an appropriate wedding gift for my niece Naomi, a nurse practitioner. She and her husband Grant, a physician, choose a background of green, and the result is pictured above.

“Eish” Mazal Tov – Ariel and Stephanie

For those who don’t understand: The glass in my cover photo is a wedding present for a recently married couple.

I took the first letters of their Hebrew names – and they form the word “Eish” = Fire.

I wanted to show the warmth of their relationship by working with yellows, reds and oranges to represent the Fire of their Love.

Wishing only the best for Ari and Stephanie!

Light reveals the unique character of glass.

suggesting our constant attempts to create a world of justice for all.

The Dove — The Symbol of Peace

The dove is used as a symbol of peace since the days of the Old Testament when Noah sent out a dove to search for land. It later came back with an olive branch which symbolized God’s forgiveness and deliverance.

Flaming Stained Glass Hamsa

The commission was for a simple Hamsa. I was told glass was to be red and white. I began by placing a silver filigree hamsa in the center. When I drew the diamond shape, it looked like a Ner Tamid – with the fingers of the hamsa as the flame. The blue iridescent Magain David completes the piece. During the day the flame shines. At night, all one sees is the blue mirrored reflection of the Star of David. I hope it finds a nice home!

Tzedek Tzedek Tirdof — Justice, Justice Shall You Pursue !

Rabbi Robert Dobrusin celebrated his 25th year as rabbi at Congregation Beth Israel in Ann Arbor. The 8th grade graduating class of 2013 created this mosaic of the Scales of Justice which will hang outside our chapel.

In gold mirror glass is the word Tzedek – Justice. It honors the work our Rabbi Dobrusin does for the organization T’ruah, The Rabinnic Call for Human Rights.

Congratulations to our graduates and congratulations to our rabbi!

POMEGRANATES!!

This Masterpiece is proudly displayed in the dining room of Matt Kaplan and Caroline Helton. It represents one of the Seven Species.

The Seven Species are seven types of fruits and grains enumerated in the Hebrew Bibleas being special products of the Land of Israel. Jewish tradition teaches that the pomegranate is a symbol for righteousness, because it is said to have 613 seeds which corresponds with the 613 mitzvot or commandments of the Torah. The pomegranate is one of the few images which appear on ancient coins of Judea as a holy symbol, and today many Torah scrolls are stored while not in use with a pair of decorative hollow silver “pomegranates” (rimmonim) placed over the two upper scroll handles. Some Jewish scholars believe that it was the pomegranate that was the forbidden fruit of the Garden of Eden.
