Arts Revue by Alex Kliner
The WJB News Dec 29 1995

On the evening of Dec. 12, I went on a journey. It’s not that I actually went anywhere. It’s more like I was transported, taken gently by Mordechai Robert Edel into his creative world, his world of Torah inspiration.
 
In songs and music, in words and in thoughtful meanderings through Kabbalistic lore, Mordechai led me and some 300 others who attended the opening of his exhibition, “One Soul Candle” at the VPL gallery, on a spirited and spiritual journey into the realm of his amazing, evocative art.
 
Chagall - like in style and substance, his paintings reach to the heart. They probe towards the soul. They explore. They seek to express healing through joy, happiness through sanctification, harmony through peace and, above all, they seek to express a life of Torah, of study and knowledge, of spiritual light and illumination.
 
So you see, it was quite a journey I went on with Mordechai.And he lit the way, you may say, simply with his “One Soul Candle”.
Mordechai
