For thousands of years, recording the Hebrew language has been the work of scribes. Now it is the focus of artists. Filling the library's walls and floor space, the exhibit displays the work of more than 25 Jewish artists, with about 60 pieces.
Selections run the gamut from paintings to sculptures, mosaics to prints.
A few incorporate high-tech computerized graphics. A number of the pieces focus on single letters. Others incorporate the entire alphabet. Some include prayers or parts of Jewish text. Curated by Elayne Grossbard, the free exhibit is funded by the Friends of the Jewish Community Library.
