Description
The observances, festivals, and traditions that give shape and meaning
to Jewish life find loving expression in the art of Malcah Zeldis. From
everyday rituals to annual holidays to ceremonies that mark life’s
milestones, the 13 images in this calendar joyfully illustrate the union of
the spiritual and the domestic that characterizes Judaism. The daughter
of Russian immigrants, Zeldis draws on childhood memories, her experiences
living in various Orthodox neighborhoods, and the years she spent in Israel
to create her richly detailed Jewish paintings.
Each of the first 12 months of this 16-month calendar features a colorful
reproduction accompanied by an explanation of the tradition portrayed.
The last four months are grouped on one page, also accompanied by a
painting and a commentary.
