In this early and smaller work, Harold Berg honors the memory of his deceased brother Alfred who was also a surgeon. For many years this mosaic hung in an operating room at Jewish Hospital. It now resides in the lobby of Louisville’s Jewish Heritage Fund for Excellence.
Image of a tile mosaic by Harold Berg designed for Jewish Hospital’s Wheeler Tower, which opened in 1973. It pairs scenes of pharmacy and surgery with a comfort promised to the Jewish people in the book of Isaiah: the healing powers of a compassionate God.
