Ellen Frank’s Hanukkah
Illuminated: A Book of Days is the first
modern illuminated and handwritten story of
Hanukkah. A devotional work of art that combines
illuminated paintings with unique texts, Hanukkah
Illuminated speaks in a contemporary voice
while echoing the great illuminated paintings
which flourished in the Middle Ages and the
Renaissance.
Hanukkah Illuminated:
A Book of Days presents in English the
vibrant tradition of Hebrew illumination for
an audience of all ages and all faiths. The
story by Everett Fox (author of The Schocken Bible
and Special Consultant to The Prince of Egypt)
and the illuminated art progress from darkness
to light as Hanukkah Illuminated celebrates
the richness of the holiday and its symbols.
An ancient story of the search for redemption,
Hanukkah Illuminated unites historic Israel’s
experience of natural and cultural worlds
in its search for redemption. Hanukkah Illuminated
culminates in a vision of harmony and peace,
in which the world is infused with transcendent
light.
