The Story

The golden ear portrays God’s presence, and since God would be a 6000-year-old man, He would be a little hard of hearing and requires a hearing aid, which He can turn on and off. Thus when humanity tries to get His attention through the aid of the shofar, He may have turned the hearing aid OFF!!! The skeleton represents the Holocaust or any tragedy when God did not respond.

What my Dad rarely mentioned when explaining this piece to others, is that the skeleton also represented the death of his wife, Doris, who died in 1990 from breast cancer. I do not believe my Dad ever forgave God for that, and since that day, he has been “boxing” with God.
