Sparks Of Divine Original
The
verse that surround the Spark of Divine:
"From every human being there rises a light that reaches
straight to heaven. And when two souls that are destined to be together
find each other, their streams of light flow together and a single
brighter light goes forth from their united being." (Quote
by the Ba'al Shem Tov)
Universal and Judaic themes are surrounding this Middle eastern
shaped ketubah with Moorish elements around it.
The
top Circles stand for "Eretz"- The land of milk and honey
Israel.
Look for the seven species- 6 at the top and the Seventh-"wheat"
at the bottom in between the lions.
The tree of life with olive branches wrap the ketubah from the outside
as the verse says :
"Your
wife is like a fruitful vines that surround your table..."
and the vines, it's grapes and leaves flows together with color
harmony.
At
the bottom right side of the ketubah, the earth toned red, hides
in itself many golden Judaic symbols, such as: The Torah, Menorah,
an ancient cup, Harvest, Fishes for fertility, Hamsa for good luck...and
more. The left side of the ketubah, the black background, hides
in itself the Sites and the spirit of the Golden city Jerusalem,
the little houses, The Montifiori wind mill, the western wall, water
waves, and the rising sun.
In the big tall African candle holders burning the two "Sparks
of the Divine". And an ancient melody can be heard... from
the legendary "Gibson" Mandolin (1922) and the David harp.
