| "This book came about as a way to look for similarities in the cultures of Judaism and Islam, through an exploration of the shared origins of their languages. I created 'Root Words' in collaboration with a noted Amercian Islamic calligrapher, Mohamed Zakariya. Mohamed and I decided on seven words in Hebrew and Arabic around which I based the book."
