For more than two and a half millennia the verses of the Psalms have welled up in the hearts and minds of Jews and Christians in countless situations, from reveries about the beauty and order of the world, celebration of the power of the divine, desperate prayer for rescue from danger, to confidence that God will always be at our side. Indeed, our immediate emotional and spiritual needs, the public or private settings of our song, even our fleeting moods, shade our conversations with the divine as we read and sing the Psalms in different moments in our lives. Hebrew manuscript artist and scholar, Debra Band, has approached the Psalms in several of her illuminated books, with indeed another presently in progress. In this slide discussion Band will present the very different interpretations of three psalms, numbers 29, 92 and 96, as each is interpreted in two of her books, I Will Wake the Dawn: Illuminated Psalms (with Arnold J. Band, JPS 2007), and Kabbalat Shabbat: the Grand Unification (with Raymond P. Scheindlin, Honeybee in the Garden, 2012). In the many vibrant illuminated paintings accomplished for each book, Band employed the full panoply of Hebrew manuscript arts to express the intricate visual symbolism she developed to express the subtleties and beauty of these beloved poems.
