Her religiously observant life inspires Dorit, and with her laser-cut metal tree, she has brought a traditional Jewish text and song to life.
Written in Hebrew in the heart of the tree are the words to the song Ilan Ilan.
“Tree, tree, wherewith can I bless thee?
That thy fruit may be sweet – it is already sweet;
that thou shouldst afford plenty of shade – that also thou dost;
that a spring may be near thee – even that thou hast.
The one thing left me which I can wish for thee is,
that all trees planted from thy seed may be as fruitful as thou art.”
Dorit’s sweet statue makes a lovely purchase for your own home, or as a gift, particularly for celebrating children’s birth, or as a special gift for grandparents!
