Jewish Mandala

Jewish Mandala

Jewish Mandala is a creative exercise on a Mandala inspired by some Jewish symbols, namely the characters of the alphabet and two of the most significant symbols – the olive tree and the shofar. The olive tree as a symbol of longevity, wisdom and continuity of the Jewish people; the shofar, a millenary instrument which bears historical witness to all the events of the Jewish people.

The word Mandala means ‘circle’ in Sanskrit and is regarded as an ancient symbol of healing and spirituality. Mandala also has other meanings, such as Magic Circle or Energy Core, and universally a Mandala is a symbol of integration and harmony, the link between man and the cosmos, a calming tool that I myself often use on very tense days. When I feel very unnerved and decompensated, drawing a Mandala restores my mental and emotional balance.
