Eva Nathanson, MBA, was born during the Holocaust in Budapest, Hungary and came to the US as a teenager. She earned her MBA at Antioch University. While her professional carrier was in Medical Management she studied art at UCLA and with several Master Craft persons in the Los Angeles area. She had studied painting, sculpting, ceramics, silversmithing and jewelry creation. The past 25 years she has concentrated on designing and creating one of kind silver jewelry, ceremonial and gift items.
Upon meeting Stan Levy in 1987 she immediately became B’nai Horin’s event coordinator and was inspired to create Jewish art pieces as well. Since she feels that the best artist is nature, she utilizes organic material and nature for her creations.
Since retiring from medical management, she continues to pursue her art career, her work as event coordinator, and being an art workshop instructor. She is also a proud mother and grandmother.

Paulette Rochelle-Levy, a psychotherapist in Santa Monica, California, also pursues a path as dancer, painter and poet. Paulette teaches classes and has led healing dance groups and directed improvisational dance performances.
Paulette is the author of DANCING WITH THE DIVINE: Prayers & Meditations for Movement & Stillness a synthesis of original psycho-spiritual teachings, paintings and poetry designed to guide the reader through the journey to awakening. Grounded in the body, Spirit is celebrated through the emphasis on breath and movement.
Paulette brings to this work the listening ear of the therapist and the visionary heart of the poet. Much of the poetry is written in the ecstatic tradition. Original nature paintings are juxtaposed with the prayers and meditations forming inspirational illustration to the poetry. Succinct essays preface the poetry that lead the reader directly into self-investigation.
Paulette’s years of exploring dance as prayer, her personal seeking and healing through meditation and Jewish Renewal are evidenced in this text. The book is clothed in beauty in both words and images. Dancing with the Divine will make a valuable gift to oneself and others for both the depth of darkness and the times of light.
Says Rabbi Stan:
I have been deeply touched by this beautiful book of prayers. It helps unlock the hidden recesses of our hearts and souls.
