Every Shabbat, during the recitation of the Kedusha in the Musaf prayer in shul, the deeply moving melody of:

“כֶּתֶר  יִתְּנוּ לְךָ ה’ אֱלֹהֵינוּ מַלְאָכִים הֲמוֹנֵי מַעְלָה עִם עַמְּךָ יִשְׂרָאֵל קְבוּצֵי מַטָּה יַחַד כֻּלָּם קְדֻשָּׁה לְךָ יְשַׁלֵּשׁוּ…”

plays in my heart.

With eyes closed, I visualize the entire world meriting to crown the Almighty, Hashem Yitbarach.

And especially on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, when the Chazzan chants the Piyut:

“וְיֶאֱתָיוּ כֹל לְעָבְדֶךָ… וְיִתְּנוּ לְךָ כֶּתֶר מְלוּכָה”

Specifically the verse, “וְיִתְּנוּ לְךָ כֶּתֶר מְלוּכָה“ (And they will give You a Crown of Kingship), fills me with intense emotion. I see in my mind’s eye the day when all humanity will recognize the sovereignty of the Holy One, Blessed Be He, and know that He is the One Creator…

For many years, this imagery has accompanied me. It burned within me like an internal whisper that longed to emerge into the world as a stirring piece of art.

Recently, through the grace of Heaven (B’chasdei Shamayim), this painting was created – and in it, I found a closer expression of that inner vision.

At the heart of the creation lies the connection between the Crown (Keter) and the Tablets of the Covenant (Luchot HaBrit).

And if you ask, what is the connection?

The Tablets symbolize the Covenant between God and the Jewish people—the Divine gift of the Torah. The Crown expresses our response—our love, our choice, and our crowning of the Creator as our King over us.

This is a circle of mutual love, of eternal commitment, and a soulful connection between Heaven and Earth.

With the hope that we all merit to see the fulfillment of this verse speedily! When the entire world will proclaim, “ה’ הוא האלוקים, ומלכותו בכל משלה“ (The Lord is God, and His Kingdom rules over all).

P.S. I hope to create additional sets in various colors and forms to further deepen this message.
