43 years ago on the evening of Shabbat, September 17th, 1976, Irving Kriesberg’s seven panel mural titled Ezekiel (1971) was presented to the Beth Emet Synagogue in Evanston, Illinois. The large painting references the Biblical passage #Ezekiel: 37, The Valley of Dry Bones. The context of this passage and how it relates to the content and symbols in Kriesberg’s painting was published in Beth Emet’s Bulletin, which is featured in this post from the archives.
