Inspired
by the main prayer from the Havdalah ceremony, I have expressed its meaning
within this form. In this design the Havdalah Set represents the essence
of the Sabbath. I have emphasized the distinction between the Sabbath
and the six days of labor by surrounding the Havdalah Set with an original
Amalya Nini watercolor painting
of the six days of creation as described in Genesis. The depictions are
encased in a Star of David, signifying the distinction "between Israel
and the nations…" Engraved on the silver under each depiction is part
of the phrase from the Bible describing that day. The Spice Box, Candleholder
and Kiddush Cup unite, accentuating the spiritual height of the Sabbath.
During the week, the spices contained at the tip of this Havdalah Set
guide us like a fragrant lighthouse through "the six days of labor…" to
the coming Sabbath.
