Yael Elkayam Son's Blessing Framed Wall Hanging

Size: 20cm x 25cm/7.87" x 9.84"

This ethereal piece features the traditional blessing for sons, beautifully illustrated and delicately painted to create a truly gorgeous piece of Israeli wall art. The delicate watercolors show stunning flowers growing from luscious green grass, with little birds happily sitting in the natural beauty around them. This gorgeous piece would make a wonderful gift for new parents!

The top arch of text reads "Yesimcha Elokim K'Efraim U'che'Menashe" - may God make you like Efraim and Menashe. Efraim and Menashe were Joseph's sons and Jacob's grandsons, and this phrase makes this blessing specific for boys. The words in the circle read "Yevarchecha Adonai VeYishmarecha Ya'er Adonai Panav Eleicha Veyechuneka Yisah Adonai Panav Eliecha Veyasem Lecha Shalom" - May God bless you and guard you; may God light his face over you and be gracious to you; may God lift his face to you and place peace over you.

This piece includes the frame shown in the picture, which is Perspex-fronted for long-lasting shine and durability.

Inspired by the beauty of nature, Yael Elkayam combines delicate pressed flowers and exquisite watercolors with a deep connection to Judaism, to create unique Jewish art.  Her work focuses on the interplaying colors found in nature, which she echoes with ethereal aquarelle paints and enhances with sparkling Swarovski crystals. Yael paints for the eyes and the soul, and her pieces will beautify and uplift any room!
