EDITORS COMMENTS
Ezra the Jewish Priest and Prophet: A Champion of the Law (Circa 459 BCE) This evocative image captures the essence of Ezra, a pivotal figure in Jewish history as a priest, scribe, teacher, and advocate for strict observance of the Jewish law. Born around 459 BCE, Ezra played a crucial role in leading a group of exiles back to Jerusalem to rebuild the Second Temple and restore Jewish worship. However, Ezra's most enduring legacy lies in his unwavering commitment to upholding the Torah, the Jewish law. He is particularly remembered for his opposition to intermarriage between Jews and foreigners, a contentious issue that threatened the Jewish identity and unity. In this print, Ezra is depicted as a stern and determined figure, clad in priestly garb and holding a scroll of the Torah. His intense gaze and outstretched hand emphasize his role as a teacher and advocate, imparting the wisdom and guidance of the Jewish law to his people. Ezra's influence extended beyond the borders of Judea, as he led a delegation to King Artaxerxes I of Persia to request permission to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the Temple. His efforts were successful, and he was granted the resources and support needed to complete the project. This print serves as a powerful reminder of Ezra's enduring legacy as a Jewish leader, teacher, and advocate for the strict observance of the law. His unwavering commitment to the Torah and the Jewish people continues to inspire generations and remains an integral part of Jewish history and tradition.
