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/v1/5eb555e188855034385cee94/1721904232420-7AY3AN44KPE8VG00MU45/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.

For You rescued my soul from death, even my feet from stumbling; to walk before G-d in the light of life." Tehillim/Psalm 56:13-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb555e188855034385cee94/1789649779490-YRI30E5RDMT1M4UBGEEJ/67.jpg Artwork - Chai 5761 - Life “Who is the man who desires life, who loves days of seeing good?” Tehillim/Psalm 34:13 Chai, the Hebrew word for “life”, is a combination of the letters chet and yud. The numerical value of these letters is eighteen, multiples of which are often given as charity to remind us of the gift of life and the benevolence we are required to emulate. Charity, tzedakah, is one of the pillars of the Jewish religion and an eternal practice of its people.

Said by the cantor, surrounded by men holding Torah scrolls, it is sung to a traditional tune that has been passed down for generation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb555e188855034385cee94/1765974714141-PAOC1MN51FCOOBSOFN5Z/image-asset.jpeg Artwork - Eternal Flame Letter - Yud https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb555e188855034385cee94/1726487372695-W44QVMASRUSMN7CPJY42/image-asset.jpeg Artwork - Chalom Yud “All Your works shall thank You, LORD, and Your devout ones will bless You.” Tehillim/Psalm 145:10 Yud is the smallest letter in the Hebrew alphabet and is contained in all letters and words, as if it were a seed, the first dot of creation. It is the only letter that is suspended and is the first letter of G-d’s Holy Name, the Tetragrammaton. It is whole and not built from separate parts, which is symbolic of the Oneness of The LORD. The power of 10 resonates throughout Judaism. There are 10 Divine channels, or emanations of light, through which the Creator continually brings this world into being, and as each word and letter contains the power of yud, each is a channel for The LORD’s infinite light to enter finite reality. There are 10 commandments, 10 utterances of creation (“Let there be light, etc.), Abraham survived 10 tests of faith, and 10 plagues were brought by The LORD against the Egyptians. A prayer service cannot begin without a quorum of 10 men. We speak of the “pintele yid”, the dot of Jewish essence, as it were, that is never extinguished, that will continue to survive even the hardest trials. May we contemplate the nucleus of all life that is the yud as it hovers in a state of becoming, soaring upwards as the Divine point of everything. May we never “miss the point”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb555e188855034385cee94/1757340451275-4VG345VQP4SEQ1G191S3/image-asset.jpeg Artwork - Illuminated Yud “All Your works shall thank You, LORD, and Your devout ones will bless You.” Tehillim/Psalm 145:10 Yud is the smallest letter in the Hebrew alphabet and is contained in all letters and words, as if it were a seed, the first dot of creation.
