The world rests on three things... [Hebrew cross-stitch]





"Simeon the Righteous says that the world rests on three things: On Torah, on avodah ("service", worship), and g'meelut chasadim--acts of loving kindness."

Each of the panels represents one of these things.  On the pattern which I made, I originally had candles as the picture on the 'avodah' (service/worship) panel but I didn't think they would look right so I changed it to a needle and thread (since this whole stitching project was kind of an act of 'worship') and music, since music plays a big part in my 'religious life'.

The Hebrew alphabet template came from the Six Million Stitches Project.
