Book: Hadara, Beauty of Women's Prayer
The book contains a collection of twenty eight prayers and tehinahs, all of them exclusively recited by women. Twenty eight is a significant number to us as women; the number of days of the lunar cycle is also the span of our cycle of fertility, our close physical bond with Creation. Aside from the blessings of the three mitzvot which are the specific domain of women, there are prayers that concern the cycle of a woman's life, from birth to death. Only one prayer on each topic has been selected out of a vast range. Supplementary texts quoted from traditional Jewish sources have been added to many of them, to enrich and deepen the perception of the prayers. Through the illustrations I offer my own feelings and thoughts, using themes, metaphors and color.
I chose to work in the style of the Lisbon Judaica manuscript workshop of the fifteenth century, for its beauty and for its traditional value. In my designs, I combine the Old School with my own inspiration, tending the old roots and growing a new tree out of them.
