Rabbi Akiva was a shepherd, a laborer, an am ha’aretz – religious in observance, but ignorant of Torah knowledge. At age 40, he didn’t even know how to read the aleph-beis. One day, while sitting by a brook, Akiva noticed a steady trickle of water hitting a rock. It was only a drip, but it was constant – drop after drop after drop. Akiva observed something incredible: A hole had been carved out by that steady drip of water. He wondered how that could be. He concluded: If something as soft as water can carve a hole in solid rock, how much more so can words of Torah – which is compared to fire – make an indelible impression on my heart." Avot d'Rav Natan 6 (Text found on Aish.com. From the Artscroll book "Like Water on a Rock.") https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb555e188855034385cee94/1705322764481-OAJUE5YPYRCO6ZRR6B2M/49.jpg Artwork - Neshama - Divine Soul Level 3 The nature of the divine soul is to yearn for closer and closer union with G-d. The individual connected to the neshama level of the soul will never be satisfied by the pleasures and desires of this world, because s/he aspires to transcendent union. The neshama level of the divine soul is connected to the intellect in the realm of conceptual understanding. It is the source of individual identity seeking to comprehend the manifestation of divine energy in the created world and is realized through religious and mystical discipline. It contemplates the coming-into-being of life and existence from nothingness. It is the breath of life – neshama derives from the word neshimah which means “breath” – as conscious presence in, and attunement to, each breath connecting to the Source of all Being. At this level of increasing spiritual light, love is revealed through intellectual comprehension of the divine, filling the heart with the desire for godliness and communion with G-d as Creator of the worlds. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb555e188855034385cee94/1769601440768-C0IAAMYHOP3P8JKJL7CP/12.jpg Artwork - Shlomo HaMelech - King Solomon - Torah Shield At Gibeon The LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and G-d said, “Ask, what shall I grant you?” Solomon said, “You dealt most graciously with Your servant my father David, because he walked before You in faithfulness and righteousness and in integrity of heart. You have continued this great kindness to him by giving him a son to occupy his throne, as is now the case. Grant, then, Your servant an understanding mind to judge Your people, to distinguish between good and bad; for who can judge this vast people of Yours?” Malachim Aleph/I Kings 3:5-6, 9 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb555e188855034385cee94/1785756089743-AQJTDHGYUEM3SHT2NPQ5/Wave.jpg Artwork - Kaleido Kaleidoscoping Seeing through geometry A crystalline world.

Give praise, give praise, utter a song! Arise, O Barak, and capture your prisoners, O son of Abinoam!” Shoftim/Judges 5:12 Devorah is described as a prophetess, a judge, and an “eshet lapidote” which can be translated as a “woman of fire.” She tells the warrior general, Barak, upon embarking on his battle with the Canaanite leader Sisera that “Indeed, I will go with you – but the path on which you have chosen will not be for your glory, for The Lord will have delivered Sisera into the hands of a woman.” (4:9) Her prophecy comes true as Jael, wife of Heber, kills Sisera with a peg and a hammer in her tent, and Devorah sings a joyous song of victory. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb555e188855034385cee94/1787743236663-90GZ94LYGNTIQIOJS2VU/67.jpg Artwork - Chai 5773 - The Moroccan Twist “Had I not trusted that I would see the goodness of The Lord in the land of Life! Hope to G-d, strengthen yourself and He will give you courage, and hope to G-d.” Tehillim/Psalm 27:13-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb555e188855034385cee94/1788172979893-JKBX79SG1I7GUALQRXO1/77.jpg Artwork - Aleinu - It is Our Duty “It is our duty to praise the Master of all creation.” The Aleinu, Traditional Prayer Written by the prophet Joshua after the fall of the city of Jerecho, the Aleinu prayer is said at the conclusion of all three daily services, every day of the year. It declares the sovereignty of The Lord, the Creator of all existence, and our responsibility to give praise. It is recited standing up as we declare our faith, our fear, and our awe. Aleinu has always evoked feelings of strength from within me. Declaring faith before G-d is empowering and complex, hence the strong, vivid colors and spiraling interplay of shapes. As our devotion emanates from the center, the Ayin Tov is watching. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb555e188855034385cee94/1721904232420-7AY3AN44KPE8VG00MU45/image-asset.jpeg Artwork - Mishkan - The Tabernacle “The Lord spoke to Moses saying, 'On the day of the first new moon, on the first day of the month, you shall build the Mishkan, the Tent of Meeting. There, you shall keep the Ark of Testimony...” Shemot/Exodus 40:1 This was the portable sanctuary, or tabernacle, the Jewish people build and carried throughout their journey in the desert. The design of the outer rim that frames the six-pointed star was in my sketchbook for years, but the center remained empty. After studying the parsha, the Torah portion that describes G-d's specific instructions for the items to be used in the Mishkan, I created a Magen David design that combined the twelve-stoned Choshen (breastplate worn by the Kohen Gadol/High Priest), the Ark of the Covenant, and the seven-candled menorah. When eventually united with the outer rim design, the composition was complete. I used a wet-into-wet watercolor technique to apply the colors, an homage to the cloud that would settle upon the Mishkan when G-d's Presence was communing with Moses and Aaron.

Every morning we pray, “The beginning of wisdom is fear of G-d”. The word for “fear” in Hebrew, yirah, has many levels of understanding. Simply speaking we can say that the reish, is connected to the word rosh, meaning “head”. When we aspire to connect our will to the Will of Supreme Intelligence, we open ourselves to receive wisdom. Thus “fear” is a healthy awe before that which is greater than us, and we use our rozon to elevate our state of consciousness. Further, the Hebrew word for “running” ratz, is related to rozon. We are asked to run to do someone a favor, to run to carry out The LORD’s Will, the instructions, tools or commandments He has given us to reach our potential as creatures created in the Divine Image. We learn that the natural state of the soul is to “run and return” between its Divine Source and physical reality. By aligning our will with G-d’s, the soul affects physical reality. This is the pinnacle (rosh, “head”) we can strive for, and the beginning (reishis, see the letter beit) of true intelligence. The form of this letter is likened to a bowing head. We pray on Rosh Hashanah (the “head” of the year) to be blessed to act as the “head” and not as the “tail” in the coming year, that our highest selves will lead us in righteous actions. The reish is the numerical half-way point of the alef-beit. In bowing in true humility, knowing our Source and our Beginning, may we be blessed to act upon this knowing, preceding all our actions and efforts with the prayer, “If it be Your Will…” https://www.hebrewart.com/about-the-artist daily 0.75 2026-08-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb555e188855034385cee94/1613141212378-1GV2NXHXWYOLLG3N1VE0/Thanksgiving-in-the-Studio.jpg About the Artist Adam Rhine, Artist https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb555e188855034385cee94/dffcedac-a983-4a8d-96bf-a61708aba744/Studio-Selfie_032323.jpg About the Artist In the studio with the “Majestic Mandala” on the drawing board. https://www.hebrewart.com/contact daily 0.75 2024-07-16
