On Art

Angels Speaking Hebrew, by Mark Podwal

Mark Podwal is known for his drawings on the New York Times op-ed page, as well as his illustrations for books inspired by Jewish legend, history, and tradition. In Angels Speak Hebrew, Hebrew letterforms and images have merged and are being carried off by angels. Podwal believes this art can help us “visualize and encourage prayer.” (From Reimagined: 45 Years of Jewish Art, by Mark Podwal © 2016, published by Glitterati Incorporated)
