An artist, educator, writer working at the interface between art, science, technology and Jewish consciousness, Mel Alexenberg has evolved cyberangels as an expression of that interface. He describes their origin: “In celebration of Miami’s centennial, I digitized an angel drawn by Rembrandt and sent it flying between the four corners of the USA. The single angel image was deconstructed and routed through cyberspace between Miami and San Diego, along multiple pathways. When the data packets reached San Diego, they were reassembled in the correct sequence, based on the ID numbers that were assigned in Miami.”(Through A Bible Lens (p. 51). Elm Hill. Kindle Edition.)

The role of the angel is implicit in its Hebrew name, which means “messenger.” Like data packets transporting information through cyberspace, the task of angels is to maintain two-way communications between our World of Action and higher worlds. They are emissaries bringing divine plenty down into our material world and raising up certain consequences of human actions.24
