The finely detailed illustration on this card for the Jewish New Year is an adaptation of my illustration for the blessing of all seasons from my book, An Illumination Of Blessings (Imaginarius Editions, 2014). The circle of acanthus leaves encloses symbols of Judaism and the New Year celebration with images of Jerusalem, an apple for sweetness, the kiddush cup for blessing wine, the Torah, the booth that represents the Sukkot holiday, an observance within the New Year holiday cycle. Also shown is a stack of wheat representing the fertility of new beginnings along with a sun and moon indicating the cycle of seasons.
