Book of Life

Beautiful sculpture created by David Kracov in honor of Rabbi Yossi Raichik, the beloved director of Chabad’s Children of Chernobyl organization.

Pages of the book transform into colorful butterflies, each representing thousands of children that were saved from the devastated region of Chernobyl and given new lives. The sculpture was crafted out of metal.
