Helene E.R. Oppenheimer
, a high school language instructor, is also internationally recognized for her award-winning American Sign Language/Braille sculptures called DeafArt, much of which also includes Hebrew. (http://pages.sbcglobal.net/aslclay/)

Alan Morinis' previous book, Everyday Holiness, inspired Helene to interpret Mussar in clay. (http://MussarSculptures.blogspot.com)

Alan's new book Every Day, Holy Day has motivated Helene to sculpt a Mussar Tool Kit. The ceramic Soul Trait Tiles can be hand held as well as displayed on her clay Tree of Life Tile Holder.

As Mussar is a life-long practice, this Tree of Life Tile Holder accompanied with the complete set of 26 tiles, makes a practical yet unique and meaningful gift, especially when accompanied with Every Day, Holy Day.
