The illustrated words in this artwork are from the holy Nishmat prayer, one of the most beautiful, heart stirring prayers in the Jewish prayer book. Nishmat is a song of praise and gratitude towards the Divine. With its moving words it describes the smallness and insufficiency of even the greatest things in the world to express our boundless love and limitless thanksgiving towards G-d. It lists all the gifts we've been granted, all the many miracles we have experienced, now and in the past, and to those before us. It is a prayer which embodies immense joy, immense gratitude and awesome appreciation.
The specific Hebrew words in this piece translate as follows, ‘If our mouths were as full as song as the sea, and our tongue as full of joyous song as it’s multitude of waves…- we still could not thank You sufficiently..for even one of the thousand thousand, thousands of thousands and myriad myriads of favours that you performed for our ancestors and for us..
May our hearts, our homes and our minds be filled with all the good feelings described in this prayer and may our Divine blessings overflow and manifest, always, in our lives!
The original artwork was created on parchment with gouache and gold leaf.
