Rabbi Hammer, shalom. I am creating a series ink drawings based on your article about biblical women and the Omer. I would love to make an online booklet with your text and my art. Please provide me an email address so I can send you some samples. The series is up to day 25. I will work on it during Chol Hamoed (now preparing 2 seders in my home for 10 people each and busy.) I will be happy to provide more information about me later. I am a Dutch artist currently living in Berlin after 3 nearly decades in Brooklyn. I am the vice president of the American Guild of Judaic art, a published author and internationally recognized artist with a PhD in Jewish studies.
