We are now in the Hebrew month of Shevat - the "eleventh month" described in today's verse. On the first of Shevat, Moses began his final address to his beloved people - the Book of Deuteronomy. He taught and opened wellsprings of Torah knowledge for 37 days, until his death on the seventh of Adar. Our Sages say that those sparks of inspiration are forever embedded in this special month, making Shevat particularly suited for renewed commitment and fulfillment of God's word. Sheva is a beautiful month in the Land of Israel and now is your very last chance to see the beauty of Israel each day with our glorious 2016 Israel Calendar available.

This beautiful illumined depiction of the four holiest cities in Israel is the perfect ornament for your wall. From the northern city of Safed, to Tiveria on the coast of the Kineret, to Jerusalem in the midst of the Judean mountains and Hebron in the south, the changing landscape is related through the colors, beginning with greens and blues to the north and softening to pinks, purples, and golds to the south. Bordered by a verse in Genesis, this piece truly captures the wonder of the Land of Israel. Dimension: 32 cm x 39.4 cm (12.6″ x 15.5″)
