This sculpture was commissioned for Links House, Wilson Street. Abraham Links came from Galicia to Glasgow in the 1880s as a young child. He established a drapery business in 1907 which proved to be most successful. The company moved in due course into a large new building in Wilson Street. Abraham was a committed and generous Zionist, active in the Jewish National Fund and other Zionist organisations. Benno Schotz was also active on behalf of the Jewish community. In 1942, he initiated a Jewish Art Exhibition in Glasgow and again, in 1951, he gathered a group of friends to mount an ambitious and popular Festival of Jewish Art.
