Ep. 45 // "Painting The Truth I See" w/ Mendel Treitel

Homesick for Lubavitch

Mendel Treitel grew up on shlichus in Montreal and is today a modern art painter living in Sydney.

In this episode, Mendel shares his journey through yeshiva and how a number of special teachers helped him reconcile his artistic disposition with the norms of the Yeshiva.

We discuss the challenges in being both a chossid and an artist, the question of individuality and how the art a chossid paints today should be different and unique from the art a chossid painted generations ago.
