This beautiful micrography lithograph, signed by the artist, was created and printed in Jerusalem. It is a micrography of the Tomb of Rachel, created using the traditional blessing for Jewish women and daughters. The words in the upper right corner translate as: May Hashem make you like Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel, and Leah... the mothers of the Jewish people. Each one possessed unique qualities that played essential roles in the strength and future of the nation. Yet there was something they all shared, something that Jewish women for all time would strive to emulate.
The picture depicts the Tomb of Rachel. Rachel passed away on the journey to Egypt. She requested to be buried by the roadside, to console the Jewish people in their later exile to Babylon, as she saw with prophesy would take place.
This is a beautiful gift for any wife daughter, or bat mitzvah girl.
