I have been painting since the age of three, and was considered a "wunderkind." I was taught in an art school for teenagers. I have exhibited worldwide and have a Saint Gaurdon's Award for Fine Draftmanship. Also, I have a Certificate of Merit from the Carnegie Institute of Fine Arts. I have attended the Brooklyn Musuem of Fine Art with Honor, the Fashion Institute of Technology and Design, and The Art Students League.
I came to Israel in 1962 and was accepted as a life member of The Artists and Sculptors Association of Israel. We have had many exhibits here and abroad including the Ramat Gan Musuem (Kal V'Chomer). My two paneled painting sculpture titled "The Prophecy" is a permanent exhibit at the Bible House on 16 Rothschild Boulevard, Tel Aviv. A portrait of mine of Raoul Wallenberg was incorporated into a documentary film shown throughout the world eliciting 6,000 letters of inquiry forwarded to the Soviet Union. A copy of the painting was exhibited at the Frankfurt Book Fair in 1985. A copy is a permanent exhibit at Yad Vashem.
I have letters of recommendation from Eleanor Roosevelit, Adlai Stevenson, John F. Kennedy, Arick Sharon, Ben Gurion, Ephraim Katzir and many others. My technique is Emotionalism and I work in all media (portraits, landscapes, flowers, realism, surrealism, abstract, with poems attached to some works). I also work in sculpture paintings. Some of my works can be viewed at www.asingularcreation.com, click on Art Gallery, and search for EHPapert. Please contact me at my email address: papert_manuscripts@yahoo.com. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
With every good wish,
Edith Helen Papert

Gems of a Litvak by the late Menachem Monas Papert (1886-1967)
1. The Yid is the smallest letter in the Alef-Bet but the biggest bone in the throats of our enemies.
2. G-d and the air we breathe have the same attributes: they cannot be seen; only felt.
3. Life would be too dry if not for the tear which moistens it.
4. The ignorant live only for today; the wise telescope tomorrow.
5. Honor the young for they are the builders. Cherish the old who have supplied the material.
6. The mountain looks unreachable when viewed from a valley; and the valley very much beneath you when viewed from the heights.
7. Such lack of respect for our Mother Earth is unpardonable! We step on her... spit on her...
8. Don't build castles in the air until you have found the keys to unlock them.
9. Need is the greatest drive a man can have. If he doesn't need, he needn't accomplish.
10. You have to blow your horn to get places, but once you have arrived it's not nice...
11. The reason for failure is over-confidence.
12. The person who is grateful for what he gets, gets more. The more he wants, the less he gets.
13. Because man was formed from clay, he was created a golem. It is only through effort and discipline that he may become a man.
14. Why do women live longer than men? Adam was created first; therefore, it is only natural that he should go before Eve.
15. Adam and Eve were warned not to eat from The Tree of Knowledge. The Tree of Life was not mentioned because we don't really live; we only exist.
16. The poor man is richer than the rich man because he has a good teacher - poverty. The rich man lives in constant fear of poverty. The poor man has nothing to fear and lives with the hope that some day he, too, may become rich.
17. Nothing reaches as high, burrows so deeply, or travels as far as Time.
18. Time and the earth have the attributes of a crocodile. The earth its huge mouth; time its tremendous digestive ability.
19. The beautician is a marvelous cook! She soups your hair, fries it, and even adds some artificial color.
20. You may trust your beautician 100% and give her your head - which she does not behead - but sometimes even bloodletting is admirable when beets are addressed as "borsht" and cherries as "cherry-soup".
21. The ox has a long tongue but cannot make the shortest speech.
22. A proud and stately pig said to a fox: "See how people honor me? They step aside with respect when I approach." "You are mistaken," said the fox. "They avoid you because of your smell."
23. Parody: The Boom-Boom Broom
Two monkeys sat in a jungle-tree curled in love. "Why doe those bare-faced monkeys shoot fire at us with their bricks and brooms?" "Because they are civilized..." said Mama Chimpanzee. "O, I wish I were like them. They with their little suns can turn night into day!" "Never ape the little gods," said the Wise One. "They are turning day into night with their civilized ways."
24. Don't despise the black people. Ink is black and useful.
2. G-d and the air we breathe have the same attributes: they cannot be seen; only felt.

Listen World
To the Christian World:
The chosen people have contributed a valuable gift to you-the chosen of the chosen who sacrificed his Life for you! Your religion is based on Love and Tolerance eg. his sermon on the Mount and Fish and Loathes episode. The Shanhedrin gave Him three years to get out of Israel. He did not do this because He did not want to be forgotten. He was abandoned by every one. He said "love your enemy." Is anti-semitism love? Stop desecrating your religion and your Savior. Stop hating. Pontius Pilate created the Jewish scape goat. Cherish the Jewish people for the great gift that they have given to you so that the sacrifice of Jesus shall not be in vain. See my book "The Shattered Mirror."
Email response elicited from publishers and/or agents.
To the Jewish World:
Do not undervalue the great contribution you have given to the Christian world who was dominated by idolatry. Jesus gave to the Christians a much milder form of Torah without its prohibitions. Respect yourselves. Follow the Torah and eventually, with Ha Shem's help we shall be protected and valued.
Email response is encouraged particularly from publishers and/or agents.
To the Muslim World:
You have been given an amazing religion written by the greatest Iman of them all. Ali Ibn Mohammed whose Koran was whispered into his ear by the angel Gabriel "do not kill by fire... do not cut off the hand extended to you in friendship...dig into the ground and you will find Allah's blessing for Islams "oil, diamonds, gold, precious gems" all this from Esau. Stop the terror and Ala's response of Csusamis (which is his wrath against the desecration of Islam and against his world, which can only result in cancer and other deadly diseases). Go to Mecca. Keep the Ramadan. Kneel before Ala in your mosque's and make peace. Look to your own wonderful soil which is rich with gifts. Do not siege the tiny land of your brother. They have Torah, you have wealth. Kudus to Muammar Kadafi!
Ha Shem, g-d, Allah are One. He loves us all and wants us to love each other and to live in peace and to stop desecrating his creation before it is too late.
