It is a wonderful custom in Jewish households for the parents to bless the children every Friday night, mirroring the blessing that Jacob bestowed upon his grandsons, Ephraim and Menashe, who he said would become a blessing for the Jewish people throughout the generations. The words of the blessing of a son read: "May G-d make you like Ephraim and Menashe, May G-d bless you and guard you, May G-d show you favor and be gracious to you, May G-d show you kindness and grant you peace", and are beautifully captured in Hebrew on this print by artist and Rabbi, Gil Schwartzman. Alongside the text of this lovely blessing is an illustration of a long-horned goat, the symbol of the Capricorn, set against a background of vibrant color. The print comes encapsulated between two pieces of Plexiglass and is doubled framed in a graceful blue border. A powerful and inspiring blessing, this exquisite piece of art brings together the spiritual powers of the Holy Letters and the infinite wisdom of Jewish astrology to imbue your child with blessing, light and guidance in all that they may do.
