Rabbi Slifkin, this sounds like an exciting idea, but the title "Animal Vegetable Biblical" is a horrible one, I am afraid. It sounds more like a description of a Biblical character with a TBI. I would recommend "A Journey to the East: The Semitic People’s Link to Their Piece of the Earth". The cover illustration should show a traditional Oriental Jewish shepherd, riding a horse, herding his sheep. A sort of Israeli Sabra "cowboy" if you will, but with sheep, in the style of the Patriarch Jacob. This will tie everything together.

R' Slifkin, when you asked your AI program for an illustration, did you include in your request to add or include something about the title of the book? Maybe that would have given you a different illustration.

In any event, I thought the picture quite nice.

Waiting anxiously for the release of this new book so it can join your encyclopedia on my bookshelf (after I read it, of course).
