Sculptures by two prominent local artists are now on permanent display.

“Benediction”(above) by Charna Rickey stands at Temple B’nai Emet in Montebello. The bronze sculpture was dedicated by Rickey and her brothers, Bernard and Howard Barsky, to the memory of their parents, Sonia and John Barsky, who were among the Temple’s founders.
