The Power of the Hebrew Alphabet is a fusion of art and Jewish thought about the meanings of the letters of the alef bet. Abella Ballen leads the viewer through the laberinth of meanings of the twenty-two letters that changed the world. The letters brought us the stories of Abraham, Moses, and the Ten Commandments. The adventures of David and his songs came to us on the wings of these twenty-two letters, as did the wisdom and poetry of Solomon. The lyrical images of Abella Ballen spread across the pages in full color filled with insight into religious truths drawn from the well of Jewish traditions. While the chromatic skill carries the work of the artist, the appeal of her symbol/images is deepened by the thought and meanings contained within them.
