"Zalman Kleinman zt"l was a Chassidic artist living in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, New York. Unlike many other current Chassidic artists, who come from a Baaley Teshuva background, Zalman came from a family that has been with Chabad for many generations (Avakesh comments: He was educated in the Soviet orphanage after being separated from his family during WWII. He was eventually reunited with his relatives, who gradually reitroduced the staunch young Communist to the tenets of Chabad). He was a self-taught artist,... and who embodied the true menchlichkeit and quiet sincerity of an elder Chabadnik. His artwork is stunning in its ability to be both life-like and 3 Dimensional.
