Now this was a new symbol to me. However, after an exhaustive search we found that is the Kabbalah Tree of Life. The tree represents a series of divine emanations of God's creation itself ex nihilo, the nature of revealed divinity, the human soul, and the spiritual path of ascent by man. In this way, Kabbalists developed the symbol into a full model of reality, using the tree to depict a map of creation. Apparently, her legacy was that of great valor. May her memory be a blessing.
"For man goes to his eternal home while mourners go about in the street."
~Ecclesiastes
This passage serves as a reminder of our mortality; ultimately, all our great achievements-like a broken pulley that plunges into a well-will fade into insignificance. Our physical forms will turn to dust and return to the earth, while our souls, the breath of God, will return to the Creator who gave us life.
We're excited to share this beautiful acrostic poem that honors Ruth's legacy. It's a heartfelt way to connect with anyone who visits or passes her stone.
An acrostic poem uses the first (or last) letters of each line to spell out a specific word or phrase. The simplest form is where the first letters create the intended word.
May Ruth's memory be a blessing.
