TAL - DEW - 13"x18" Judaica Jewish Hebrew Art Print

"Dew - let it drop sweetly on the blessed land, with the delicacies of heaven sate us with blessing, to enlighten us from amid the darkness..." (Traditional Prayer for Dew during Passover)

The word "Tal" means "Dew" in Hebrew. On the first day of Pesach (Passover), a springtime Holy Festival, Jews pray to G-d for dew. The droplets found every morning represent rejuvination and rebirth, and remind us of Creation. It is also equally as important to never take any blessings for granted however small, like the dew on the ground each morning.

This original design, by Judaica Artist Adam Rhine, combines the intense detail of ancient illuminated manuscripts with a contemporary aesthetic and spirit. The work was created using watercolor, acrylic, and colored pencil, and is part of his ongoing Magen David (Shield of David) series that encapsulates Jewish themes and individual letters, all set in unique, ornate patterns bound by the shape of the six-pointed star.
