Welcome to the Kabbalat Shabbat: the Grand Unification gallery. You will find a sampling of images of paintings from the full hardbound book. Every prayer, blessing or ritual is presented in both Hebrew and English, and the book includes commentary on each. Kabbalat Shabbat: the Grand Unification: At the Sabbath Table offers a small paperback “bencher” version, including every prayer, blessing and ritual involved in Shabbat dinner, without the synagogue materials and commentaries. Please click here to purchase the bencher.

Each painting is 13”x15”, accomplished on the same kosher slunk vellum (young calfskin) used for the finest Torah scrolls, in ink, gouache, gold leaf and powdered gold and, and for silver, palladium leaf or powder. Papercuts are accomplished on paper, often with painted detail.This collection toured the United States for three years following its 2016 publication.
