Jewish Art
| Are there actually Jewish Mandalas? The circular patterns and drawings recognise as Mandalas are normally thought of as percentage of the Buddhist culture. Not a lot of know that there are, in fact, Jewish Mandalas as well. They are named "Maagalot", the Hebrew plural form of Maagala (sacred circle). Michal Fishel, the creator of the primary Maagalot, did not even recognise that her circular drawings, that had brought her such serenity and pleasure, where in fact a form of Mandalas. It was only after other commented on her works that she begun to study the world of Mandalas and their use as a spiritual tool. Then, with this understanding she delved into the Kabala, the ancient Jewish wisdom the deals with the relationships amidst man and his creator, and men's place in the creator's world and order of things. And out of this mixing of Mandalas and Kabala came to be the Maagala, The Jewish Mandala. The term Maagala is derived from an old tale of rabbi "Choni the maagel" (Choni the creator of circles). Among other things it is told that Choni would draw a circle on the ground, stand in it is center and pray to God for the blessings of rain. And his prayers would be answered. The center is a point of no substance but everything revolves around it so it is consequently - not one thing and everything- beyond time and place- just like our creator. Michal believes that the creation within the parameter of the circle connects a person to his creator, and to all creation, therefore affectively transforming him into a portion of all there is. However, Maagalot as Jewish Mandalas relate not only to the circle but to the square and to their shared center. The creator is not only in us and above us, he is in all creation, in each shape, color, material, breath and thought. This conception of the creator being a central living percentage of the life, each day creating our very existence with each breath we take - connects to working in each color and shape beyond time and any conception of ratio or perspective around the one central point. Immersing one-self in drawing a Maagala is a liberating and endowing experience, relaxing and regenerating at once.

Will muhammed and allah ever preach peace to jewish humans and tell the muslims to eat pork? One day will the persons of the world be merged under one banner of allah who art in heaven, hollow be thy name. No, I'm sorry the Allah of Islam is not the God of Abraham as he claims. The Allah of Islam is in agreement with the serpent in the garden. God has provided for his humans the Lord Jesus Christ. |
