Biblical Passages
Awake O' North and Come Yemen Silk Tie
$36.00
"Awake, O north wind, Come, O south wind! blow upon my garden that its perfume may spread. Let my beloved come to his garden and enjoy its luscious fruits!" (Song of Songs 4:16)
The south (Yemen) will help pollinate the garden (land of Israel). The blend of north and south is evident today in the land of Israel with the immigration of Yemenite Jewry. The illustration comes to show the blend of the Sephardi and Ashkenazi cultures. The Hebrew words suggest a messianic era.

“And he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed” (Exodus 3:2).
Many Biblical commentators have explored the reasons God chose the bush as a means by which to communicate with Moses, yet the bush was not consumed.
Seek Peace Silk Tie
$36.00
“Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it”(Psalms 34:14).
The Hebrew word for peace is: Shalom. Shalom is a positive active state of being, it is a context of life rather than the specific content or set of attributes. Shalom is to be whole, sound, complete: it is a context of well-being and integrity. The Biblical concept of peace is based on the view that human beings were made in the image of God and endowed with the responsibility to make the world a place of beauty and peace for everyone.
Biblical text has been, and is, an important and influential part of civilization. Biblical passages have kept commentators busy throughout the ages. A passage relevant 2000 years ago can become of value and be significant even in these modern times. The Bible has played a significant role not only in religious communities, but art, literature, medicine, business and politics are indebted to biblical motif, themes and images.
