The Gallery of Nachson of Hebron. Jewish mystical and visionary art from "Nachshon of Hebron." I am told that Nachshon was blessed by the Lubavitcher Rebbe many years ago "to effect the tikun of the world of painting." He has presented many unique visions and ideas through his beautiful and profoundly detailed paintings.

The Art of Siona Benjamin. Fascinating artwork from Ms. Benjamin, a Sephardic Jew who was raised in India and who currently lives and teaches in the US. Explores the problem of multiculturalism and Jewish identity in her series of paintings "Finding Home." In these paintings there are Hindu, Jewish and pop-cultural influences. The artist has become interested in Jewish mysticism and there is a mystical aspect to her work.
