 NEW INTERVIEW WITH GARY ROSENTHAL!

I am delighted to announce that I have just posted a new interview with Gary Rosenthal on the site! Not only is he an inspired artist, but he is a person who cares deeply about others and making a difference in the world. Gary’s work in the community, and with his special needs employees, is inspirational! In this interview, Gary talks about his new woven line of Judaica that is handcrafted with the assistance of two autistic workers in his studio. Gary also talks about his plans for the future which include a project that he hopes to be his biggest to date! Here’s an excerpt from the interview:

Risa Borsykowsky: What gave you the idea of employing people with autism to help weave the items?

Gary Rosenthal: I like to say that all of my staff/associates do what they do better than I would do. No where is this clearer than with my autistic associates. Everyone is different, but John and Tim love to work on repetitive tasks where precision is critical. Weaving is a favorite task and the more the better. After the mezuzahs were so successful, I was determined to create more woven items so that eventually I could hire another autistic staffer for just that collection. That is still my hope.
