Aishet Chayil: Woman of Valor

"An accomplished woman, who can find? Her value is far beyond pearls." This image is an expression of a 3,000 year old hymn outlining the all-encompassing virtues of a woman of valor. The Book of Proverbs concludes with this 22 versed, acrostic poem. The conclusion of the hymn states that a woman's deeds are the ultimate testimony to her greatness. Traditionally, Aishet Chayil is recited in Jewish homes when Shabbat is welcomed on Friday evening. This tribute is often interpreted as a metaphor for the Sabbath Queen, the Torah, the Shechina (G-d's feminine aspect) and the soul. The multi-layered orb represents the depth of a woman of valor with her many accomplishments and abilities. Pearls are found throughout the design to remind us of the value of such a woman. They also form the top of a crown, alluding to the Sabbath Queen as well as the author, King Solomon. The flowing lines remind us that life, strength and spirituality flow through this source, a woman of valor. In contrast to the lyrical movement, the vertical shafts in red anchor the woman to the ultimate source, Adonai.
