After finishing his series of seven serigraphs (The Akedah) based on verses from the story of Abraham and Isaac, Weil proposed a kind of epilogye to this work. The print sums up the sense of relief and gratitude that Abraham must have felt upon the redemption of his son; the ordeal had ended and they were still both safe and alive.
Shraga Weil was born in Nitra, Czechoslovakia in 1918 to a family of teachers, journalists and merchants. His father, a building engineer, who was an amateur painter, sent him to study with a local sculptor and then to the Prague School of Art.
He produced his first graphic works during World War II, part of which he spent as a prisoner. After the war, Weil sailed for Israel on an illegal immigrant ship, eventually arriving in the new country in 1947 and becoming a member of Kibbutz Haogen, where he has been living ever since.
In 1954 Weil spent some time studying murals and graphic techniques at the Academie des Beaux Arts, Paris and Ravenna mosaics with Prof. Severinl.
Shraga Weil’s works have been exhibited in the United States, South America, Canada, Australia, France, the USSR, Switzerland, and in the International Exhibition of Graphic Arts, in Lugano. In 1959, Weil was awarded Tel Aviv’s Dizengoff Art Prize

Weil’s unorthodox arrangement of rows of diminishing figures, directed toward the central axis of this work and focused upon the “bouquet” at center, is typical of this artist’s visual solution to a complex idea. The figures appear and disappear, silhouetted against contrasting or harmonizing backgrounds. While an over-all pattern of varying textures keeps the surface active, it also suggests the constant restless movement of the pilgrims on an unspecific but inevitable journey.

Peshat (literal) has at its center a spiral of Hebrew characters enclosed in a crown of leaves, suggesting the tree of knowledge. Hands from above and below reach toward the center. The symbolism suggests the hands of the Giver and receiver, or the hands of those who reach out for knowledge. One is left to contemplate the glowing colors and intimations of spirituality
