Hebrew Words for In Peace Print

The Meaning of the Hebrew Letters that make up the phrase “In Peace”. Bet represents a house or home. It is more than just a shelter from the elements. It is a place that one has the feeling of belonging, and from here you can become the person you are emotionally and spiritually meant to be. The Torah begins with a word that starts with a Bet and reads “In the beginning”. It is an energy of creation before anything is born and grown to maturity. English Equivalent (B/V) Shin is the Hebrew letter that starts the word for peace. You will find this letter on mezuzahs that are on the door posts of homes and rooms which points to one of Gods holy names. It is about joy, wholeness and prosperity. Shin refers to the rhythm of change in everyday life, ultimately leading to a peaceful existence. English Equivalent (S/Sh) Lamed is the tallest letter. Lamed relates to both teaching and learning. Learning and teaching are man’s highest accomplishments. To study is not the ultimate goal, rather it is the deed that results from the knowledge. English Equivalent (L) Vav means a nail, or that which joins together words, sentences and concepts. It is holding or attaching your focus and attention on what you want to create or manifest. The straight upright form of the letter also suggests how important it is to follow our unique individual spiritual path. English Equivalent (V) Final Mem refers to intuitive knowledge, a wise teacher and a spiritual guide or an angel. Angels are seen as messengers, living or dead. Sometimes we can be angels for others, imparting a words or acts that can change a life. When the letter is at the end of the word, we use a Final Mem letter. English Equivalent (M) To be “In Peace”, we must look inside ourselves. The letter Bet, represents a home, and is a metaphor, for the internal emotional and spiritual development that we find within ourselves before we can experience peace in our outer world. Shin, adds the element of holiness, for internal and external peace is surely a holy gift. Lamed reminds us that learning and knowledge and the wisdom and actions that result bring us closer to this goal. Vav gives us the strength to continue to focus on the path ahead of us, as we gain a fuller knowledge of what it means to be “In Peace”. The Final Mem, adds the idea that sometimes we must allow our instincts and faith to lead us along our path. This artwork started out as a 3D Collage with metal parts, wrapped wire, semi-precious gemstones, paint and resin. After the 3D Collage was finished, I photographed itI then took the photograph and put it into photoshop. Here I was able to add as an overlay the Hebrew letters that make up the phrase “In Peace”. Some of the letters were actually photographs of bronze sculptures I made of that particular letter. Other letters were digitally created in the computer, by tracing in the computer, hand drawings of the letter shapes that I designed.
