Hebrew Illuminations Calendar - The Illuminated Letter Series, Volume 2 of 2 (Calendar, 2008 ed.)

Great Rabbis and scholars have dedicated their lives to the meanings behind the portions, word combinations and spellings in the Torah. At the root of it all are the letters themselves, and the amazing meanings they individually infuse into the words they create. The sheer elegance of their construction conveys ideas and wisdom. Concepts such as "home," "charity" and "reaching for G-d" are found within their deceptively simple shapes. Sacred letters and words come alive in the Hebrew Illuminations 2007/2008 wall calendar. This unique calendar features the final eleven letters of the Hebrew alphabet plus five illuminations of significant Jewish concepts, such as Etz-Chayim (Tree of Life) and Mizrach (East). Adam Rhine's highly detailed Judaica paintings are heavily influenced by medieval illuminated manuscripts, which the artist combines with modern palettes and aesthetics.
