King David, writes in Tehillim, “For You [God] do not desire sacrifices; else I would give it: You do not delight in burnt offering. The sacrifice of God is a broken spirit. A broken and contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.”

In the Talmud it teaches, “Words that emanate from the heart – enter the heart.” Take what might feel like a broken heart and turn it into Divine alignment.

Song is at the center of all our rituals, and singing is the unifying element of communal prayer. King David used a harp to compose the Psalms (Tehillim). The Talmud teaches that the harp hung above David’s bed, and at midnight a northern ruach (wind) would blow on the five strings, raising him from his sleep to study Torah until day break. The Zohar teaches that the five strings parallel the five books of Torah and are the instruments with which he composed much of Tehillim.

These 10 Tehillim and the words and meaning behind them have the power to elevate and transcend the elements within that feel broken and shine light on the Shelaymut (the complete) truth that is deep within your being, in the depths of your soul. We will be commissioning 10 artists to create 10 pieces of art for this Tikkun HaKlali collector Sefer series.
