As Radiant as the Stars

       

"God took Abraham outside and said, 'Look at the sky and count the stars, if you can count them.' And God said to him, 'your descendants will be like these'" (Genesis 15:5). God's promise in the above verse (which frames this poster) is usually interpreted that Abraham and Sarah's children will be as numerous as the stars.

However, it can also be interpreted that their descendants will be as radiant as the stars.
The rainbow-clad, comet-like figures soaring above the stars represent Abraham and Sarah. Six star-children, dressed in one of the colors of the rainbow, form a six-pointed Star of David. Abraham and the male star-children have red Shins in their faces.

The Hebrew letter Shin represents Fire in the Kabbalah, and is intuitively related to a masculine, vertical orientation - 'standing up'.

Sarah and the female have blue (final) Mems in their faces. Mem represents Water, and is associated with a feminine, horizontal orientation - 'sitting down'.

In the center of the Star of David are two star-children dressed in brown. Here, the male figure is sitting down, while the female figures is standing up. This represents the complete integration of masculine and feminine, vertical and horizontal orientations
