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/v1/5eb555e188855034385cee94/1788345833362-IF4QJKIM5ZUHG7AIK7ZV/image-asset.jpeg Artwork - Illuminated Psalm 84:5 "Praiseworthy are those who dwell in Your house, continually they will praise You." Tehillim/Psalm 84:5 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb555e188855034385cee94/1788866003788-HU2754ETN5USLJY4NJ7S/image-asset.jpeg Artwork - Gavishi Chai I "Upon me, O G-d, are my vows unto You; I shall render thanksgiving offerings to 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/v1/5eb555e188855034385cee94/1705322712103-RU6SQRXFIINTUGE71T31/49.jpg Artwork - Yechidah - Divine Soul Level 5 Yechidah – or Essence of Oneness – is the essence of the soul in complete union with God and is the highest level the soul can reach. “These [higher] souls do not have any detectable influence on the body, and do not add to or subtract from man’s vitality or sensations. 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/v1/5eb555e188855034385cee94/1695125091085-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/v1/5eb555e188855034385cee94/1792404431895-FZ9UKRBNGJTQNTK3LD2X/67.jpg Artwork - Chai 5766 “For Your kindness is greater than life, my lips shall praise You. Thus I shall bless You all my life; in Your Name I shall lift my hands.” Tehillim/Psalm 63:4-5 King David commits to praising The LORD not just in moments of joy but throughout his life, even in hardship. This reflects our unwavering devotion. The rabbis (Midrash Tehillim) connect this to daily prayer—one should never cease offering blessings to The LORD. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb555e188855034385cee94/1793098054211-ZJR6D9E4LWSOUX0W153U/Emet.jpg Artwork - Emunah - Faith “Faith is the song of life!” Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook (1864 – 1935) Emunah, commonly translated as faith, is the original biblical term for a firm belief in a single, supreme, omniscient, benevolent and all-powerful Creator of the universe. It contains the belief that everything that happens to us is for our ultimate good and benefit, directing our souls to knowledge of G-d. This absolute belief in divine providence, in God’s unfailing goodness, is expressed in the Jewish hopefulness for a better world. Text by Louise Temple from the book "Hebrew Illuminations" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb555e188855034385cee94/1793273692800-HWFDA7AOOIXA6IHXPYF6/11.jpg Artwork - HaVazelet HaSharon - Like a Rose Among Thorns "Like a rose (lily) among thorns" Shim HaShirim/The Song of Songs: 2:2 Describing our relationship with G-d, King Solomon, wisest of all men, wrote, "I am to my Beloved and my Beloved is to me; like a rose among the thorns." A curious statement. The first half of the verse is perfect and symmetrical. I love G-d, and He loves me. Beautiful. Powerful. Uplifting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb555e188855034385cee94/1719486692313-LQSXW4TN49LTHM90N0VP/77.jpg Artwork - Tikkun Olam - Repairing the World “Therefore we put our hope in You, Lord our G-d, that we may soon see Your mighty splendor, to remove detestable idolatry from the earth, and false gods will be utterly cut off, to perfect the universe through Your Almighty sovereignty.” The Aleinu, Traditional Prayer Tikkun Olam is a Hebrew phrase meaning the “repair” or “fixing” of the world. It not only explains the Jewish idea of social justice, but also our highest purpose is making this realm a dwelling place for the Divine. The more Mitzvot we do, that is, the more actions G-d has commanded us to do in order to express the Divine Will in this world, the closer the world moves towards perfection. It is our duty to fix what we see as broken and bring beauty and harmony to our world. No individual is responsible for correcting every wrong on our planet, but each of us must rise in awareness to bring holiness to the people and situations we are able to influence. This was one of the most challenging paintings of this collection. My original sketch included only the Magen David shape in the center. That's what I painted and it turned out exactly as planned. My wife, a far better artist than I, saw the star floating by itself on the white board and commented that it looked unfinished. I agreed and began spontaneously to add everything you see around the Magen David. In its sketch-form, I had planned to make the theme Ema, or “Mother,” but after I had completed all of the illuminated areas, it felt like a complete and beautiful world to me, hence Tikkun Olam. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb555e188855034385cee94/1793620350072-GJRG78XD5JVOVLX1TE3Z/Eliyahu-HaNavi.jpg Artwork - Eliyahu HaNavi - Elijah the Prophet “So they both (Eliyahu and Elisha) went. Fifty men of the prophets' disciples went , standing opposite them at a distance, and the two of them stood at the Jordan (River). Eliyahu took his mantle and folded it over, and struck the water, which split apart this way and that, and they both crossed over on dry land. As they were crossing, Eliyahu said to Elisha, ‘Request what I should do for you before I am taken away from you.’ Elisha said, ‘May twice as much as your spirit be mine.’ (Eliyahu) said, ‘You have made a difficult request. If you see me taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if you do not, then it will not happen.’ As they were walking and conversing, behold! - a chariot of fire and horses (appeared) and separated between the two of them, and Eliyahu ascended to Heaven in the Whirlwind.” II Kings 2:6-11 Eliyahu was a prophet of amazing talents and power during the reign of the evil king of Israel, Ahab. Though the King and his wife, Jezebel, threatened to have him killed, he obeyed G-d and followed the prophecies given to him. Eliyahu was able to raise a young boy from the dead, challenge and destroy hundreds of idol-worshiping false prophets, part the Jordan River, and ascend to Heaven in a fiery chariot. Since Eliyahu did not “die” per se, Jews to this day invite him annually to the Seder table at Passover, hoping that he brings the prophecy of the coming of the Moshiach/Messiah. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb555e188855034385cee94/1793964035248-RA04T4CF20LGFS8G6ZTL/Planner-001.jpg Artwork - Shabbat Shalom - Moonlit Sky https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb555e188855034385cee94/1794224658060-I83KXEFCMIT5WO1VU5IN/Menorah-Chai.jpg Artwork - Sigd Sigd is a word derived from Ge’ez meaning “prostration” or “worship,” and is the commonly used name for a holiday celebrated by the Beta Israel (Ethiopian Jewish) community on the 29th of the Hebrew month of Cheshvan. This date is exactly 50 days after Yom Kippur, usually falling in late October or November. According to Ethiopian Jewish tradition, this is also the date that G‑d first revealed Himself to Moses. Since 2008, Sigd has been an official Israeli state holiday.

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/v1/5eb555e188855034385cee94/1589739873993-X1Q1J568W81GP740NW01/image-asset.jpeg Artwork - Chalom 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.
