Traditional Judaica Shaviti Wall Hanging

It is often a traditional custom to place in the home or in the synagogue in front of the "shaliach tzibur" or prayer leader, the Name of G-d.

This is called a "shaviti," which means "I have placed before me." This refers to the verse, "I have placed G-d before me always..." (Psalms 16:8).

In addition to the Special Name of G-d, other Names and verses are written upon this Shaviti, and are written in such a way as to take the shape of a menorah. Therefore, this is also sometimes referred to as a a "menorah". There are many mitzvot whose intention is to remind a person of his ultimate goal in life. These include the Shema, the mezuzah and tzitzit.

According to the Kabbalah, the soul of a person and the potential of kedushah within them is locked away and even hidden within the physical body. The Hebrew word for "world" is "olam" comes from the same root of the Hebrew word "he'elam" which means "hidden." This shows us that actually "the world hides" the existence and sovereignty of G-d.

This shaviti "menorah" amulet helps us to keep in mind that in order for the soul to reach its true potential, many commandments and mitzvot are needed.
