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.
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.
Mosaic created by Harold Berg for Jewish Hospital's 75th anniversary celebration. The mosaic features a quotation from Maimonides’ Prayer from the 12th century.
