NEW PSALMS FOR AN OLD BOOK (I-X)
– Rustlings Amid Lives Unchanged

The tapestries are based on quotations from contemporary poets, known and unknown, struggling with the timeless complexities of life while influenced by or searching for comfort and answers in Judaism and the Jewish experience.
My use of single Hebrew letters as titles of the subseries is based on a Chasidic tale of the letters as prayers. Strangely, at the time of starting the series I did not know that this is also the Biblical way of organizing the Book of Psalms.
