mcbee_book_borahDrawing on ideas from scholars such as the Rambam, Rashi and Rabbi Soloveitchik, poetry from a broad spectrum including Yehuda HaLevi to Robert Frost and Rilke and contemporary paintings by Richard McBee, this text provides a unique exploration of creativity and art from a Torah perspective.
