Eli Valley Escape Panel Presentation on Tree of Life, October 24, 2019, Greenlight Bookstore Eli Valley 2019-10-30 | A little footage is lost, after 3:55, in which I translated and explained the Hebrew Psalm in the upper left: "From out of the depths, I call to you God." This Psalm (130:1) is often inscribed in front of the Cantor's stand. Many older synagogues (e.g. Prague's Altneuschul) actually place the Cantor's stand in a *recess* below the level of the floor, to physically emulate the depths of one's soul from which one is praying. In my comic I have it elevated, to mimic the topsy-turvy nature of what’s happening in the country, reflecting the pivot to blaming the left.(^that's the content of the missing footage)This Presentation was part of the debut of Michael Kupperman's "Escape Panel" series at Greenlight Bookstore. The event also featured brilliant comic artists Julia Gfrörer, Matt Lubchansky, and Lauren Weinstein discussing their work.
