This painting combines the two dimensions which relate to the tribes of Yehuda and Yissachar. The meditative figure in the foreground is refining the characteristics of her soul in the month of Iyar during which we count the Omer. This period of time, between Pesach and Shavuot, the Exodus from Egypt and the receiving of the Torah, is one of introspection (the governing "sense" is thought, as opposed to "speech" of Pesach). Yissachar was blessed to sit in his tents and contemplate the wisdom of the Torah. However, the majestic setting of Ein Gedi belongs to the territory of Yehuda, who was blessed with embracing the lineage of the kings. The letter vav, which is superimposed on the painting, is shaped like a pipe which channels the highest levels of Divine light to the lower levels. It is also reminiscent of the spine, depicted on the figure.
In this painting, the crown, which represents both superconscious light - that which is above the intellect - and kingship, hovers above the waterfall. It hints to the lofty goal of the spiritual work at this time and in this place, which is to draw down the light of keter (crown) to all levels of the soul. This process refines one's character and clearly re-establishes one's malchut, which, on the other end of the spectrum, refers to kingdom: one's physical, emotional and psychic territory. This meditation is a preparation for the month of Sivan, during which one receives the Torah, the guide for movement through the dance of life.
