Lisa Liebmann, who wrote the introduction to the collection, observed: "...The image has, for most of us, replaced the word..." With respect to the present work she writes, "Judith Rivka's image for the NINTH COMMANDMENT - Hebrew lettering, a fluttering line tracing a gesture of brotherhood, abstract planes of light and overlapping colors that could be a metaphor for divulgence - might strike a chord in those familiar with suburban temples of that late 50s or early 60s with their pastel, Chagall-inspired motifs, neoplastic design and their optimism. .."
