"Rhine is an accomplished Judaic artist...a beautifully illustrated book of the Hebrew symbols and alphabet."

Chicago Tribune, Sept. 22, 2006
"A handsome picture book...Rhine's paintings echo Christian illuminated manuscripts of the Middle Ages."

The Judaic art of Adam Rhine is popping up everywhere—from best-selling calendars and greeting cards to magazine covers and even on chocolate candy. Hebrew Illuminations brings together for the first time over 44 stunning images from this visionary artist in a beautiful collector’s edition. The breathtaking "mandalas" in Hebrew Illuminations are accompanied by supplementary instruction, co-written by author/teacher Louise Temple, that invites the reader to contemplate the rich layers of meaning hidden in a wide range of Hebrew letters and symbols, including:

• "Aleinu"— a declaration of faith that beckons the viewer to offer praise for all creation

• "Chai" — a tribute to the divine for the miraculous gift of life

• Dozens of moving images in honor of Jewish holidays, Torah passages, Sabbath practices, and more.

Like the medieval illuminated manuscripts that inspire them, the ornate and celebratory creations of Adam Rhine will instill a sense of divine majesty in all who behold Hebrew Illuminations.

The book is available at Borders Books retail locations and Amazon.com (see below). Autographed and personalized copies are available by email request via the artist, Adam Rhine.
