Gates of Evening

Ma’ariv Aravim is part of the Jewish evening prayer service. This prayer thanks God for bringing on the evening, for the arrangement of the stars and planets, for the cycle of the seasons and the rotation of the days. I have long had the desire to turn Ma’ariv Aravim into an art quilt. I find comfort in both the cycle of the seasons and this prayer. I placed Ma’ariv Aravim on the back of the quilt in Hebrew and English, using the version which appears in the 2007 Edition of the Mishkan T’filah Reform siddur.
