The Many Faces of Kabbalah: the joint exhibition of the Jüdisches Museum (Jewish Museum) in Vienna and the Joods Historisch Museum (Jewish Historical Museum) in Amsterdam presented the various facets of Kabbalah, from the historical development and early Jewish mysticism, to practical Kabbalah and magic, to modern manifestations in art and popular culture. It followed the traces that Kabbalah has left in the most diverse forms of modern art: in painting, sculpture, design, literature, film, and music. Published to accompany the exhibition, this book provides an astonishing look behind the scenes of this "hidden world".Artists: Ghiora Aharoni, Mordecai Ardon, Michael Berkowitz, William Blake, David Bowie, Rachel Brown, Moshe Castel, Rene Clemensic, Belu Simion Fainaru, Victoria Hanna, Louis Kahn, Isidor Kaufmann, Anselm Kiefer, R.

The earliest painting by Rembrandt whose owner is documented depicts the prophet Balaam, on his way to blessing Israel. The man who bought it was a Sephardi Jew in the service of Cardinal Richelieu of France. The first known buyer of an etching plate by Rembrandt, depicting Abraham Dismissing Hagar and Ishmael, was a Sephardi Jew of Amsterdam. Seen through their eyes, Rembrandt was the creator of images with a special meaning to Jews. They have been followed through the centuries by Jewish collectors, Jewish art historians, Jewish artists who saw their own deepest concerns modelled in his art and life, and even prominent rabbis, one of whom said that Rembrandt was a Tzadik, a holy man blessed by God. This book is the first study in depth of the potent bond between Rembrandt and Jews, from his time to ours, a bond that has penetrated the image of the artist and the people alike.
