Our prints are the very highest quality available. Our lab uses pigment printing which is the standard for fine art prints and is archival 200+ years. The paper has a heavy weight and is coated with baryta, which makes for greater detail and definition, extended tonal range and provides a semi-gloss sheen that makes the image exceedingly vibrant. The prints are all standard frame sizes making them easy to frame. We ship them flat in protective packaging so that they will not bend.

Custom sized prints are available upon request!

Rabbi Nosson Zvi Finkel, also known as The Alter of Slabodka is most well known for his involvement in the Yeshiva world. While he established numerous Yeshivot in Lithuania and Poland, the most renown was the Slabodka Yeshiva. He stressed teaching mussar (ethics) in addition to Talmud. Extremely devoted, he gathered up students from far and wide to enable them to learn and become gedolim. He was truly a tzaddik and had an unusually intuitive connection with his students often seeing their potential before they themselves did. He was close with them and they called him “father”; Alter or Der Alter. He eventually founded what is now Yeshivas Chevron, still a prestigious institution. He passed away in Eretz Israel.
