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/v1/5eb555e188855034385cee94/1769601440768-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/v1/5eb555e188855034385cee94/1788345833362-IF4QJKIM5ZUHG7AIK7ZV/image-asset.jpeg Artwork - Illuminated Psalm 84:5 "Praiseworthy are those who dwell in Your house, continually they will praise You."

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.

The only function of these [higher] souls is with respect to man’s true essence and appropriate association with the highest Roots.” (The Way of G-d, 3:1:4) Thus chayah and yechidha remain external to the body and represent the highest level of supernal understanding only few individuals can attain. Yet, these levels of consciousness beckon and respond, up and down the divine soul-chain, to those who yearn to nullify the lesser self for the ultimate expression of love and Selfhood, where all personal attachments and desires are consumed by a Greater Love. This is Ultimate Union. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb555e188855034385cee94/1790331719399-Z235BQN7IAEJHO6ZL3Y9/image-asset.jpeg Artwork - Sukkot - The Festival of Booths “You shall celebrate it as a festival for The LORD, a seven day period in the year, an eternal decree for your generations... You shall dwell in booths for a seven day period, every native in Israel... So that your generations will know that I caused the Children of Israel to dwell in booths when I took them from the land of Egypt, I am The LORD, your G-d.” Vayikra/Leviticus 23:41-43 The word sukkot means “booths,” and refers to the temporary dwellings that we are commanded to live in during this holy festival. While inside, we recall the period of the Nation of Israel wandering during their exodus from bondage in Egypt. During the festival of Sukkot, we take the Four Species (arba minim) and wave them in six directions (east, south, west, north, up, and down). This symbolizes the fact that G-d is everywhere. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb555e188855034385cee94/1771854674691-AL4OVXABG297EA0YD6Q6/image-asset.jpeg Artwork - Illuminated Samech “The LORD supports all the fallen ones, and straightens all the bent.” Tehillim/Psalm 145:14 Samech is a complete circle, a metaphor for The LORD, the One who has no beginning and no end. All growth and evolution proceeds in spiraling cycles, as expressed in the symbol for infinity. Samech is an inclusive space, an enclosure that supports us, the divine embrace. The Sukkah, the temporary dwelling that we are commanded to reside in on the holiday of Succos, begins with a samech. It represents the or makif, the transcendent surrounding light that protected the Jewish people in the wilderness, described in the Torah as “clouds of glory”. The chuppah, or wedding canopy, is also described as or makif, as is the ritual of the bride circling the groom seven times. In a sense, the samech is the deep containment of holy intimacy.The wedding ring also conveys this in the union between two souls. The emphasis samech has on its “center” is like the Mishkan the “Tabernacle” in the desert around which the twelve tribes of Israel encamped and traveled on their journey through the desert. The Holy Temple was the center of religious life in Jerusalem, just as Jerusalem is now the center of Jewish identity throughout the world. 60 is the numerical symbol of an all-inclusive state; 60 ten thousands – 600,000 – souls left Egypt in the Exodus; sleep is one sixtieth of death; dream is one sixtieth of prophecy; Shabbat is one sixtieth of the world-to-come; honey is one sixtieth of manna; there are 60 tractates in the Oral Torah and 60 letters in the priestly blessing. As we focus on samech may we feel deeply at home in that place within that we call our center, breathing in the life-force that sustains us moment to moment, surrounded by the loving embrace of our Creator. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb555e188855034385cee94/1695125091085-ZK08QF3QNLF4QCK5RDR0/25.jpg Artwork - Swirling Sketch Seven swirls in the center, ten swirls around the edge, one fun composition! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb555e188855034385cee94/1790852882317-Q89JZFTCQXCWS15AZ81Z/77.jpg Artwork - Hoshanah - Save Now! “Please, Hashem, save now! Please, Hashem, save now! Please, Hashem, bring success now! Please, Hashem, bring success now!” Read during the Hallel service and, on Sukkot, when the Four Species are waved. Hoshana Rabbah is known as the day of the final sealing of judgment, which began on Rosh Hashanah. During the festival of Sukkot the world is judged for water. The seventh day of the festival is the final sealing and since human life depends on water, Hoshana Rabbah is somewhat similar to Yom Kippur. Hence there are additional prayers and requests for repentance as on Yom Kippur. In this spirit, the cantor wears a kittel as on the High Holidays. Hoshana Rabbah has an interesting status as sort of a High Holiday (due to it being the final day for judgment) and in between a Chol HaMoed and full-fledged Yom Tov, and in this spirit the cantor, in the Ashkenazic tradition, recites the service using High Holiday, Festival, Weekday, and Sabbath melodies interchangeably. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb555e188855034385cee94/1790937589570-9E9JZ94GBZ5CEOU6YEPN/Planner-004.jpg Artwork - Shabbat Shalom & Moadim L'Simcha It’s both Shabbat and Hoshanah Rabbah tonight. Rejoice!!! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb555e188855034385cee94/1768831060090-KNCGSWX7LYQ7YYW5P8V7/image-asset.jpeg Artwork - Torah “The Torah of the Lord is perfect, it restores the soul...” Tehillim/Psalm 19:8 Who can paint the concept of the Torah, the words of the Almighty, given to Moses on Mount Sinai? For me, this painting is a celebration of the written covenant with the Jewish people, the unceasing assurance from the Source of all life and the fact that we are divinely protected and loved when we walk this ordained path. It is said that everyone has their own inner Torah, uniquely illuminated by the light of Truth as our lives “unscroll.” This is mine - for now. My spiraling design echoes the unceasing cycle of the reading of the Torah, year after year, generation to generation, as we wrap ourselves in G-d’s holy words and decrees. In five of the circles are the five titles of the books: Bereshet (Genesis), Shemot (Exodus), Vayikra (Leviticus), Bamidbar (Numbers), and Devarim (Deuteronomy.) In the sixth and uppermost circle I put the crown of Hashem, the Supreme Author. When the yetzer ha’rah (evil inclination) surrounds and challenges us, we must look inward, into the core of our beliefs, to the beautiful blossoming rose of the Torah. Text by Louise Temple from the book "Hebrew Illuminations" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb555e188855034385cee94/1791112326636-UZRP9C1IFJ7Y66LQQT2Q/image-asset.jpeg Artwork - Simchat Torah Simchat Torah (Hebrew: שִׂמְחַת תורָה, lit. “Rejoicing with/of the Torah”) is a celebration marking the conclusion of the annual cycle of public Torah readings and the beginning of a new cycle. It is a component of the Biblical holiday of Shemini Atzeret, which follows immediately after Sukkot. The central celebration takes place during evening services — one of the rare occasions when Torah scrolls are taken from the ark at night. In the morning, the last parashah of Deuteronomy and the first of Genesis are read consecutively, and the congregation dances and sings joyfully with the Torah scrolls. 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
