| "The 613" by Archie Rand to be released on Amazon and Barnes & Nobles on Nov 10, 2015 |
PUBLISHING---“The 613,” a wonderfully garish book with one painting per page, will be
published next week (Blue Rider, $45). Most people know that there are 10 commandments, enumerated in the Hebrew Bible, or Old Testament, and given on tablets to Moses — even if we do not necessarily know what those commandments are. But there are more: From Genesis through Deuteronomy, there are a total of
613 commandments, as counted by medieval sages. [
