Ready for framing, this stunning work of art will draw gasps of wonder from all who behold it! It is an original design by Jerusalem artist David Fisher. Inspired by ancient Hebrew manuscripts, it feaures the entire Hebrew Biblical verses from the Priestly Blessing, Yevarechecha Hashem Veyishmerecha, Yaer Hashem Panav Elecha Vichuneka, Yisa Hashem Panav Elecha Veyasem Lecha Shalom ("May Hashem (The Lord) bless you and guard you . . .") (Numbers 6:24-26). Every word of this powerful phrase contains a world of meaning. The text in the center, surrounded by an incredibly ornate foliate motif and a pair of hands giving the Torah's Priestly Blessing.

The verse inside the upper arch is the conclusion of the Prietly Blessing, Vesamu eth shmi al bnei Israel, va'ani avarechem (And they [the priests] shall place My name upon the children of Israel, and I will bless them) (Numbers 6:27).

The holy names are not spelled out, in order to avoid any desecration.

Please note: this piece is not framed but is available framed for an additional price.

David Fisher, born in Jerusalem, is an Israeli graphic designer who has revived the traditional Jewish art form of paper cutting, that goes back to at least the Middle Ages, through utilizing a modern laser cut technology. Together with his expertise in Hebrew typography, the technique of arranging and designing text, these acclaimed works of art are a beautiful portrayal of Jewish blessings, prayers, symbols and decorative motifs.
