So excited to hold this printer's proof in my hands. (Yes, there is a corgi lovey in the frame. Belongs to my kid.) Cannot WAIT to share this link with y'all as soon as sales go live! cc @magneticshul, @stevesilbert, @davidevanmarkus #sketchnoting #Torah #VisualTorah
ALT The cover of a printer's proof of a forthcoming book. Text reads "A Year of Building Torah." Beneath that there is a blueprint of the world and a blueprint of Torah, intimating that Torah is a blueprint for the world. Edited by David Evan Markus, illustrated by Steve Silbert.

I asked myself “What image might best show the connection between drawing and Torah?” This small offering will be on the spine of A Year of Building Torah, a book of parshanut accompanied by VisualTorah sketchnotes. Coming soon from @yourbayit.

What started as simply writing the “Nishmat kol chai” prayer in script Hebrew during streaming #RoshHashanah services turned into a #visualtefillah with a flow of its own.

Area farmers and artisans come together weekly to the @RAMJacksonville with the first fruits of their labors - their gifts from God. My tribute to them and their first fruits is this drawing. Shabbat shalom.

Tonight begins Day 36 of the Omer.
I’m reminded of the poem “Description” by Shel Silverstein. The point of the poem is that each person has their own unique image of their God in their mind’s eye and each one is absolutely right.

I drew this shviti inspired by the Creation narrative, which ends with the light of peacefulness that comes with rest after a hard week’s work.

Slow down time,
Look up at the infinite of the night sky,
Listen to the trees rustling and whispering,
Feel the earth under your feet,
Taste the tang of moisture in the air,
Smell the flowers that attract the hummingbirds,
This is the music of Shabbat.
