Sh'viti


One of the other blogs I read pointed me towards this tee shirt. The Hebrew word “Sh’viti” is the first word of Psalm 16:8 “I have set the Lord before me always.” It is also the word for a Jewish devotional object intended to keep one mindful of the presence of the Holy One. The designer connected this with the words of Genesis 1: 26 where God decided to make men and women in God's own image. The tee shirt is a reminder that the person wearing it -- indeed, every person -- is an image of the Holy One.

I bought one for Tom because of his Jewish roots, and I got one for myself because I like the idea behind it.
