There is a warmth from this guy.  He looks like a Middle Eastern wizard in that hat with the curtain behind him.  Meir, you've captured a wonderful image of a man who looks benign and living in his tradition.  Those thick rings with the large stones -- I recognize --  the cane is a nice prop though real.  His plumpness -- cozy.  The focus is nice on the face, the eyes, the smile that may conceal some missing teeth -- it's a winner.  I'd give it a 7.

Interesting portrait!
