Books by Mark Podwal

In A Collage of Customs, Mark Podwal's imaginative and inventive interpretations of woodcuts from a 16th-century Sefer Minhagim (Book of Customs) allow us to see these historic images in a new light. Podwal brings humour and whimsy to religious objects and practices and delivers a nuanced commentary on Jewish customs and history.

Explores some of the animals, both real and mythical, found in biblical, talmudic, midrashic, and kabbalistic sources.
