Yaakov Kirschen
Yaakov Kirschen’s down-to-earth needling of public figures in “Dry Bones” epitomized Jerusalem’s refusal to bow to foreign diktats.
Considered “a national treasure of the Jewish people,” the Brooklyn, N.Y.-born artist won the 2014 Nefesh B’Nefesh Bonei Zion Prize for his contribution to Israeli culture.
