Description

About the Book

Rembrandt becomes friends with Rabbi Menashe ben Israel and finds inspiration for a painting during a Sabbath dinner after witnessing the children being blessed.

Book Synopsis

Inspired by the true story of the friendship between Rembrandt and Rabbi Menashe Ben Israel.

Painting scenes from Bible stories is Rembrandt's passion. Many of his Amsterdam neighbors are Sephardic Jews, and the children often come to play with the costumes at the renowned painter's house. Rabbi Menashe Ben Israel encourages his neighbors to pose for Rembrandt's biblical scenes. He helps the painter understand the descriptive words in the Hebrew bible. At the rabbi's home for Sabbath dinner, Rembrandt watches his friend cup his hands over his children's heads and say a blessing, which gives him an idea for a very special painting.
