Jeanette Kuvin Oren, an artist who specializes in Judaic artwork,
sits in her Woodbridge studio with examples of Torah covers that she has created for clients.

CONNECTICUT - When the High Holy Days begin Wednesday at sundown, Torahs throughout the world will soon be taken out of their everyday covers and “dressed” in their holiday best, traditionally in whites with muted tones. At Temple Emanu-El in Livingston, N.J. and dozens of other synagogues worldwide, that change is all the more artfully inspiring because the covers are made by reknowned Judaic artist Jeanette Kuvin Oren of Woodbridge. “Her artwork is so striking, you’re drawn into looking. It’s so vibrant, you just look at it and it connects with you, with people of all ages,” said Rabbi Mark Kaiserman of the New Jersey synagogue. “It exhibits the joy and brightness you want the Torah to have. It sort of gets you in the mood for the holidays that are a about to happen.” [link]
