Alef Alef Poster #2

59.4 x 84.1 cm or 23.4 x 33.1 inches (A1)

Traditional walnut ink and gold watercolor on Fabriano 300gsm paper

Part of a series exploring the initial drafting of the letter for human communication in ancient times, and its relationship to our modern era.

The text incorporated here is the sublime poem 'Mah Lach Yechida' by Solomon ibn Gabirol, who lived in 11th-century Spain, describing life in the Spanish exile.

This song, performed by Berry Sakharof, has become a theme song for our Shabbats, as it vividly and dramatically expresses Rabbi Solomon ibn Gabirol's perspective on our situation today.
