Modim
�We gratefully thank You, for it is You, Adonai, Our G-d and G-d of our forefathers for all eternity;
Rock of our lives, Shield of our salvation are You from generation to generation.
We shall thank you and relate your praise-- for our lives, which are committed to Your power and for our souls that are entrusted to You; for Your miracles that are with us every day; and for Your wonders in every season--evening, morning and afternoon.
The Beneficent One, for Your compassions were never exhausted, and the Compassionate One, for your kindnesses never ended-- always have we put our hope in You.�
The Modim prayer is one of the last blessings of the Amidah, the standing prayer, in which we give thanks. The Amidah is also known as the Shemoneh Esrei, a collection of prayers serving as the cornerstone of every service. It was written in the 5th century B.C.E. to serve as a basic prayer that would cover everything�.praise, petitions and thanks.
The word �modim� has many meanings�we are grateful, we thank, we praise, we bow, we surrender, we acknowledge. All of these inferences are made when this blessing is offered.
The artistic expression of this prayer represents G-d as the color red, not only above us but below us as our foundation. The red sides show how our thanks to G-d frames the Jewish way of life.
The turquoise ball in center represents the word � modim,� with many arches emanating from it to allude to its many meanings. The larger ball above shows how our thanks magnify our relationship with the creator when we give thanks.
The arches heading downward reference bowing and surrendering, while the upward movements capture the gratitude, acknowledgement, praise and gratefulness that we experience in the recitation of this prayer of thanks.
