Cover Art:

The artist, RUTH ANAYA, is Canadian born and educated, and is a noted serigrapher
and painter. She attended Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, McGill University, and Sir
George Williams College. In 1952 she moved to New York City to continue her studies.
Her prints and paintings are internationally represented in prominent private and pub-
lic collections. She is a figurative expressionist, abstracting freely to convey mood.

RUTH ANAYA, in describing her feeling during the preparation of this book cover,
explained, "As I put my pencil to the paper I could feel my right hand moving freely as
though guided by the very image I was portraying. He was coming to life with little effort
from me--the man, his aura, and his loves--Judaism, God, poetry, Zionism. I know this is
how Abraham Isaac Kook wanted to be presented--a man bathed in spiritual light, his
aura alive with hues of creativity and practicality and piety, all guarded by the Lions of
Judah."
