Raphael Nouril painted the Shah of Iran, the Prince, Henry Kissinger and actress Susan Colins. But when he wanted to paint the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, whom he never met, he changed his life first.

Raphael Nouril painted the Shah of Iran, the Prince, Henry Kissinger and actress Susan Colins. But when he wanted to paint the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, whom he never met, he changed his life first.
What is it about art that so much affects the artists life? What was so special about the Rebbe that painting his likeness made Raphael become a new person?
In a fascinating tale of art and spirit, miracles and holiness, Raphael Nouril tells all in an interview with Rabbi Yosef Katzman, host of A Cable to Jewish Life.

i love Raphael Nouril’s painting.
the one in shul raising the torah is my favorite.
three of his painting were hanging over the sweet table by my son’s bar mitzvah @ Lubavitcher Yeshiva.
everyone loved them.
very special, keep your amazing work.
What an UPLIFTING video!
Wow, this is so inspiring and beautiful!! This man seems so special–and even more, you can just feel the Rebbe’s love radiate through each of his stories! It’s only a pity it’s so short!
