Mishlei 10:25

“צַדִּיק יְסוֹד עוֹלָם”

Tzaddik Yesod Olam. The righteous one is the foundation of the world.

Shlomo HaMelech teaches in Mishlei that the tzaddik is the foundation of the world. The mekubalim explain the depth of it. The tzaddik is Yesod, the channel through which blessing flows from the higher worlds into ours.

Why wellsprings

The Baal Shem Tov once ascended to the chamber of Moshiach. When will the master come, he asked. The answer: when your wellsprings spread outward.

Five words

A chossid once came to the Tzemach Tzedek in fear for his ailing son. The Rebbe answered with five words in Yiddish. Tracht gut vet zayn gut. Think good and it will be good.

The artist

The knife. The light.

Rachel paints only in oil, with a palette knife. No brushes touch the canvas.

The painting begins in the seforim. The face arrives once the soul is understood.

Commissions

A painting your family will keep.

Rachel accepts a few private commissions each year. Homes, shuls, and institutions.
