Behold the journey of Ken Gangbar, a sculptor whose hands shape stone and spirit alike. In this intimate interview, Ken unveils his heart, tracing the path he forged after October 7th, a pilgrimage into the depths of Judaism, a quest to fortify his soul as a Jew. Once a fierce activist against Apartheid in South Africa, he now strides through Toronto’s streets, a kippah crowning his head, tearing down venomous anti-Semitic flyers. In their place, he pins portraits of hostages, a quiet rebellion of hope. When the city’s decree sought to silence his defiance, Ken wove yellow ribbons into the urban tapestry, a symbol of resilience undeterred. Ken, whose sculptures grace homes, businesses, and corners of the world, has glimpsed the neshama, the eternal soul within his art, a divine spark that always flickered beneath the surface. What once flowed from intuition now pulses with the sacred, entwined with God, Torah, and the Jewish people, woven into the rhythm of his days. His creations, once born of instinct, now breathe with a celestial essence, as if whispering, “It was always there.” Humble and eloquent, Ken speaks with tender reverence of his family, his people, Israel, and the Torah’s timeless wisdom. His words, like his sculptures, carve a space for reflection and inspiration. Watch this interview, let it linger in your heart, and share its light. Through Ken’s story, we find a mirror for our own spiritual and creative awakening, a beacon for the soul’s unfolding.
