Cover art: Joseph’s Dream (© 1997) was created by Michael Bogdanow, an artist, lawyer, and musician living in Lexington, Massachusetts. It is based on Joseph’s dream of the sun, moon, and eleven stars bowing down to him (Genesis 37:9), and is part of Bogdanow’s “Visions of Torah” series of contemporary, spiritual paintings and reproductions inspired by Judaic texts. The original is an acrylic painting on canvas in the private collection of Alex and Donna Salamon.
