The Book of Ruth

The Book of Ruth contains 13 powerful illustrations printed in full color on artistic paper in Hebrew and English.

Artist's Notes: "The wonderful story of the Book of Ruth deals with generosity, sacrifice and kindness that are rewarded. As far as the work of illustrating, the colorfulness of this book differs from that of the other megillot. As part of the research I did prior to the work, I traveled to the Bethlehem area (where the story takes place) and checked the color of the fields during the harvest season and decided to limit myself to shades of yellow and green and the earthy tones of the area that predominate in that season and to thereby convey a sense of the place and not just focus on the plot."

The Book of Ruth First Edition Price: $45.
The Book of Ruth First Edition Price signed by the artist: $60.

It is also available in a limited collector's edition of 50 copies, signed and numbered by the artist. Each one is silk-screened on Arches paper, using 20 to 30 color plates for each illustration.
Each book has a special printed cloth case.

The Book of Ruth Limited Edition Price: $1,700.

Both the first edition and the collector's edition of The Book of Ruth are included in collections of the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York, the Harvard Judaica Collection, and the Library of Congress.
The collector's edition of The Book of Ruth is included in the Yale University Judaica Collection.
