Prague Czechoslovakia Jewish Rabbi Lowe & Naked Young Woman on Right scan2059
Rabbi Lowe with naked young woman clinging to him on right. 1st. Legend: She was his Granddaughter who went astray now is repenting to come back home.
2nd. Legend: Rabbi Lowe lived into his 90's - a rarity in those days when the average person lived to be 40 maybe. The Angel of Death - who could not defeat him, as a result of his learning and knowledge - disguised himself as the scent of a rose, and the young lady is seducing him to acept the flower and smell it, thus Death will enter and get him. Could just be the artist's rendering - who knows? In any case this is the only staute of a Rabbi adorning the Town Hall that I know of.
His real name was Yehuda Leva ben Becalel.
