Rav Eliyahu Eliezer Dessler zt"l
Rav Eliyahu Eliahu Dessler (1892–1953) was a Jewish philosopher of the 20th century. His teachings have been organised posthumously in the six-volume book- Michtav m’Eliyahu (later translated into English and published as “Strive for Truth”).
Perhaps one of his most influential ideas, discussed throughout his works but especially in the first volume of Michtav me-Eliyahu is the “Jewish philosophy of love.” He observes that the perfect love from the point of view of Jewish philosophy is not “give and take” but focuses exclusively on giving.
It was a privilege to work on this portrait. I hope this print will help add Rabbi Dessler’s ideal of love into my client’s home.
