THE HEROIC WOMEN OF EARLY ISRAEL….in shimmering gold and color!

Debra Band’s illuminated paintings present the three biblical stories of women who stood up at crucial moments to take actions that preserved the young Israelite people and shaped its character. Interpreting the biblical texts with imagery drawn from Jewish lore, academic bible studies, archeology and science, Band offers an insightful and vibrant visual midrash, and clear commentaries on the symbolism and meaning of each painting. Paintings include the complete biblical texts in the original Hebrew and the 1985 JPS translation. Literary commentary by world-renowned scholar of Hebrew literature, Arnold J. Band, helps readers fully enjoy the skill of the biblical authors. A gorgeous book for pure enjoyment and inspiration and an unforgettable gift for the Bat Mitzvah, weddings, and countless celebrations…or just for your own pleasure and study. Original paintings were exhibited.
