Mark Podwal, doctor and artist whose witty drawings bear weight of Jewish history, dies at 79
The New York artist, who drew for "The New York Times" for decades, developed a close connection with the Altneuschul in Prague and often drew on Jewish history and faith, including in works syndicated in JNS.
