Description

“In the name of Adonai, the G-d of Israel:
May the angel Michael be at my right,
and the angel Gabriel at my left;
And in front of me, the angel Uriel,
and behind me the angel Raphael…
and above my head the Shechinah.”(Divine Presence, feminine aspect of G-d.)
Angels are referenced throughout Hebrew Biblical and Rabbinic literature.
Their physical attributes, purposes and appearances are diverse.
Malach means messenger. These messengers deliver information, instructions, visions and prophesies.
Many stories in Torah include angels, such as the binding of Isaac and Jacob wrestling the angel.
In the Talmud, it is said that Michael, Gabriel, Uriel and Raphael surround and protect G-d’s throne.
Sometimes, in the nighttime Shema, a prayer is included,
that positions these four angels in order to protect us as we sleep.
In both instances, these Malachim were chosen for their specific strengths and abilities.
There is a powerful alignment between what happens on high and what we pray for in this world.
In this image, each angel is symbolized by a ribbon, emanating from Malachim, to the right, left, front and back.
The letter aleph within the word is painted red to represent G-d.
The numerical gematria for this letter is one.
As we say in the Shema, “...Adonai Elohenu, Adonai Echad.” The Lord, our G-d, The Lord is One.
Gematria was developed by those who practiced Kabbalah to aid in mystical interpretations of texts.
The Kabbalistic tradition also tells us that these angels possess and deliver spiritual energy from the One.
The curves extending beyond the ribbons, can be seen as contrails of energy encompassing our souls.
The metallic gold beam above the word is the conduit that serves several purposes.
It directs us to the Shechinah above. It allows the angels to bring messages from the Divine to us.
It carries our energy upward to the higher worlds of spirit and the Source.
