The Tree of Life sculpture in plaster is the work of a reli- giously observant Ethiopian Jew who created the piece in gratitude for his wife's recovery from a serious illness. The son of an Ethiopian Jewess and Sudanese Arab, Abra- ham Jacob Asheber Abebe Hallelbbaammll is a partici- pant in minyanim at the Downtown Synagogue whose con- gregation encouraged the manufacture of the sculpture. *** A devout, Sabbath-observ- ing, Hebrew-speaking Ethio- pian Jew has devoted him- self to making a Tree of Life and a Tower of Knowl- edge out of plaster. It em- phasizes the values of the Decalogue and of the Torah. A daily participant in the religious services of the Downtown Synagogue, he has been encouraged in his task by the rabbi and offi- cers of the congregation, and the product he makes, all individually created, has been placed on the market with their encouragement and blessings. The product, its maker and his back- ground are described in the Ethiopian Jew's own words in the statement he has pen- ned: "My name is Abraham Jacob Asheber Abebe Hal- lelbbaammii. "I was born in Ethiopia in 1921 and came to the United States in 1922. My mother was an Ethiopian Jewess and my father was a Sudanese Arab. My wife Sarah is an American-born Jewess, descendant of Tan- zanian Hebrews.' We have two daughters, Rivkoh and Rochel. "We had lost our business downtown on Monroe St. My wife got sick, went into the hospital, was very ill and almost died. About a week after she was in the hospital I said my prayers to thank God for His many blessings and ask Him to make my wife well again, and to help me financially. This is when God gave me the vision of this Holy Throne (Tree of Life sculp- ture). He told me my wife would get well and that Temple to Hold Outdoor Service Temple Beth Jacob of Pontiac will hold its annual Service under the ) Stars 8 p.m. today at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Hor- witz, 949 James K.
