About The Artwork

This piece is dedicated to Rabbi Moshe Silberhaft – the legendary South African “Travelling Rabbi”. His story is a most remarkable one and I can highly recommend reading his memoirs “The Travelling Rabbi: My African Tribe”. Rabbi Silberhaft is known as the rabbi with “the largest congregation in the world, but not in numbers”. He covers an area of 15 000 square metres encompassing 13 countries from South Africa in the south to the Congo, Uganda and Kenya in the north and the Indian Ocean islands of Madagascar and Mauritius. From circumcisions and bar and bat mitzvahs to weddings and funerals, The Travelling Rabbi greatly impacts the lives of Jews in far-flung small or non-existent communities. What a romantic story! I decided to name this piece after the region of Port Louis on the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius – where my wife, Sarah, is from.
