for Prayer and Peace: A Bridge to Oneness
Japanese Kanjipronounced Shinresemble the ventricles of the heart.
The clasp for the torah is constructed in silver, nickel, 22K gold and copper. It depicts Japanese character Shin that means ‘Heart’ and represents the connection between the heart and the mind.
Hebrew Letter Shin Stands for:
Shaddai - Protector
Shalom - Peace
Sh’ma - Hear in your Heart
Shekinah - the Feminine Presence of God
The Torah crowns left are hollow form constructed in fine silver with 23K gold leaf. They feature Hebrew letter Shin pierced in negative space.
The Japanese characters above, pronounced Shin, symbolize a temple with thunder. Together they mean God. The definition of God here is similar to that in Judaism: The Spirit and essences of all things in everything, creator of light, Nature, bringer of evolution, everything and nothing, mysterious, and supernatural.
Hebrew is the only language normally associated with the Torah. But the definition of God is the same regardless of the origins of the language. Mixing the languages of God points to our oneness.
