People from around the country gathered at the Jerusalem Theatre on Wednesday, for an art exhibition featuring 33 illustrations of biblical stories and verses from the Old Testament. But the exhibition was no regular art show - the art was produced by a completely paralysed Israeli artist named Rahamim Melamed-Cohen. Rahamim was diagnosed in 1994 with a rare and severe neuro-degenerative disease that gradually paralysed his entire body. But thanks to technology and his own tenacity, the Rahamim has has harnessed the power of his tiny eye movements to write books, compose music, and now create the art featured at the recent exhibition. 06/11/08
