Did you design the image? It's beautiful.
Absolutely.
Thank you very much.
we heard a beautiful vort on this very theme at our school's Chanukah assembly today. There are many levels of creations- domem, tzomeach etc. A person does not have the ability to create (yesh m'ayin)any- not a rock, a leaf, a rabbit; he could not create a person, even if you gave him all the parts and organs to do so. And yet- we do have the power to create malachim- angels. How? With every mitzvah that we do, we create another malach.
Isn't that a powerful, transforming thought?
That is powerful. I once read (Irving Bunim said) that when we pray we create angels and we should imagine the difference in the angels we create if we daven with umph, etc or the reverse.
Spectacular piece of art. It just lit up my early evening before a half-hour drive home in the dark. Thank you.
