''Shekhina'' is a book of
photography by
Leonard Nimoy representing the feminine side of
Jewish divinity as visualized via the imagery of women, with commentary on Jewish tradition and scripture provided by David Kuspit. The book received a certain amount of controversy for the perceived risqué nature of a number of the photographs with his use of nude and partly clad women donning a tallit and
tefillin, Jewish prayer accessories traditionally worn by men.
The title comes from the feminine
Hebrew word ''
shekhinah'', meaning the glory or radiance of
God, or God's presence.
