Oseh Shalom Mandala - Greeting Card Karte

"The One who makes peace in the heavens will make peace for us and for all Israel. Amen." This simple and eloquent prayer for peace begins with a phrase taken from Job 25:2, "oseh shalom bimromav". The expanded sentiment appears in many Jewish contexts, including at least two well-loved folk melodies. It closes both the Kaddish prayer and the Elokai Ntzor meditation after the Amidah. Having pondered the rhythms in this text (which are one of the aspects that make it 'meditative' for me) for a long time, I came up with this mandala-style arrangement intertwining the Hebrew text with its transliteration.
