{"product_id":"eshet-chayil-in-orange-gold","title":"Eshet Chayil in Orange-Gold","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe poem \u003cstrong\u003e\"Eshet Chayil\"\u003c\/strong\u003e concludes the Book of Proverbs (Chapter 31, verses 10-31) and is traditionally attributed to King Solomon. It is a moving hymn of praise to women, structured as an alphabetical acrostic-meaning each verse begins with the successive letter of the Hebrew alphabet, from Aleph to Tav.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn Jewish tradition, it is customary for a husband to sing this poem to his wife on Friday night (Shabbat Eve) before the Kiddush. It serves as a token of gratitude, appreciation, and love for her efforts, wisdom, and dedication to the family throughout the week.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn a literal level, the poem describes the ideal woman-diligent, generous, wise, and God-fearing. However, throughout the generations, deep allegorical layers have been attributed to the song, where the \"Woman of Valor\" also symbolizes the Divine Presence (Shekhinah), the Torah, or the human soul. Because of its profound beauty and rich meaning, the poem has become one of the most popular and beloved motifs in Judaica art and a cherished gift for women.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe poem:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-left: 1.5rem;\"\u003e\nA woman of valour who can find?\u003cbr\u003e\nFor her price is far above rubies.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe heart of her husband doth safely trust in her,\u003cbr\u003e\nAnd he hath no lack of gain.\u003cbr\u003e\nShe doeth him good and not evil\u003cbr\u003e\nAll the days of her life.\u003cbr\u003e\nShe seeketh wool and flax,\u003cbr\u003e\nAnd worketh willingly with her hands.\u003cbr\u003e\nShe is like the merchant-ships;\u003cbr\u003e\nShe bringeth her food from afar.\u003cbr\u003e\nShe riseth also while it is yet night,\u003cbr\u003e\nAnd giveth food to her household,\u003cbr\u003e\nAnd a portion to her maidens.\u003cbr\u003e\nShe considereth a field, and buyeth it;\u003cbr\u003e\nWith the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.\u003cbr\u003e\nShe girdeth her loins with strength,\u003cbr\u003e\nAnd maketh strong her arms.\u003cbr\u003e\nShe perceiveth that her merchandise is good;\u003cbr\u003e\nHer lamp goeth not out by night.\u003cbr\u003e\nShe layeth her hands to the distaff,\u003cbr\u003e\nAnd her hands hold the spindle.\u003cbr\u003e\nShe stretcheth out her hand to the poor;\u003cbr\u003e\nYea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.\u003cbr\u003e\nShe is not afraid of the snow for her household;\u003cbr\u003e\nFor all her household are clothed with scarlet.\u003cbr\u003e\nShe maketh for herself coverings of tapestry;\u003cbr\u003e\nHer clothing is fine linen and purple.\u003cbr\u003e\nHer husband is known in the gates,\u003cbr\u003e\nWhen he sitteth among the elders of the land.\u003cbr\u003e\nShe maketh linen garments and selleth them;\u003cbr\u003e\nAnd delivereth girdles unto the merchant.\u003cbr\u003e\nStrength and dignity are her clothing;\u003cbr\u003e\nAnd she laugheth at the time to come.\u003cbr\u003e\nShe openeth her mouth with wisdom;\u003cbr\u003e\nAnd the law of kindness is on her tongue.\u003cbr\u003e\nShe looketh well to the ways of her household,\u003cbr\u003e\nAnd eateth not the bread of idleness.\u003cbr\u003e\nHer children rise up, and call her blessed;\u003cbr\u003e\nHer husband also, and he praiseth her:\u003cbr\u003e\n'Many daughters have done valiantly,\u003cbr\u003e\nBut thou excellest them all.'\u003cbr\u003e\nGrace is deceitful, and beauty is vain;\u003cbr\u003e\nBut a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.\u003cbr\u003e\nGive her of the fruit of her hands;\u003cbr\u003e\nAnd let her works praise her in the gates.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jewish Letter Art","offers":[{"title":"A3","offer_id":58258042126667,"sku":null,"price":180.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"A2","offer_id":58258042159435,"sku":null,"price":270.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/7594\/1707\/files\/Framed_f95cbd33-0192-41bc-82e1-cfec71485a02.jpg?v=1787749312","url":"https:\/\/jewishletterart.com\/products\/eshet-chayil-in-orange-gold","provider":"Jewish Letter Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
