Odeh LaEl (Simu Lev El Haneshama), a 16th century North African piyut (liturgical poem), reminds us that every morning offers a new chance to examine our souls and rediscover the goodness and jewels within that might have become hidden during the long night. As we learned the beautiful melody to those words at Rabbi Roly Matalon’s Hakhanah laTefillah (Preparation for Prayer) class one Shabbat morning, I wondered how the poet imagined those amethysts and opals on God's throne. Perhaps, like people made in God's image, they were also a bit rough and unfinished on the edges, clinging to one another as each reflected the light from above that illuminated their search. This is a signed, numbered, open edition giclée print, matted to fit in a 16” x 20” frame.
