The Bedtime Shema is a collection of prayers to be said just before bed, full of requests for peace and protection. This book of prayers is fourteen pages, filled with black-and-white illustrations, and completely hand-lettered. Measuring at 8.5x 5.5 inches, it’s the perfect size to tuck into a nightstand, but roomy enough to be legible.
About the Author Jessica Tamar Deutsch is a New York–based visual artist. She earned her BFA from Parsons, where she created her beloved first book, The Illustrated Pirkei Avot. Deutsch is passionate about creating artworks that renew our relationships with ancient texts, and for years she has created paintings inspired by Nachman’s “The Lost Princess.” She hopes this visual retelling of the story will open readers to new ways of relating with this beloved fable.
