The Yad Is Mightier Than The Sword

Words from the artist:

This one is from my medieval Judaica mashup series, where I combine traditional Jewish ritual items with medieval weaponry and armor. The yad reminds us to be pure and to add our inner beauty to the Torah readings. The gauntlet is for protection, same as the words and prayers we speak. Our spiritual studies and practices bind us together as a people, and give us the strength we need to triumph. 

“No weapon formed against you shall succeed, and every tongue that contends with you at law you shall defeat. Such is the lot of G-d’s servants, such is their triumphs through Me” — Isaiah 54:17
