Mira – My Eshet Chayil
There are posts in this blog (below) honoring for my boys. It would only be fitting here to mention my daughter, Mira.
Without embarrassing her with too much praise on this blog – I wanted to create a piece of art for her office. Mira works for the Jewish Family Service of Ann Arbor. She spends her entire day performing works of Tikkun Olam - Repairing the World. In her honor I created a piece that combines 3 elements: Judaism and Peace along with the word Tzedek.
Tzedek has several translations: righteousness, justice, and tzedek is the root of the Hebrew word for charity. In this work I have intertwined the word tzedek with the image of a white dove whose shaped is outlined by a blue six-pointed star.
This piece of leaded glass expresses my feelings for my Eshet Chayil - my woman of valor.

Wow!
Hi Ron,
I didn’t even know that you were a glass-user-designer (what’s the right appellation?)
Lovely items, and so good of you to let us know of what you’re doing. I like the pieces, and I really appreciate the text you’ve written. Makes each item all the more meaningful.
Thanks so much.
Perhaps someday I’ll even be able to purchase something. For sure, I’ll let other people know of your work and your availability to do commissioned pieces.
Kol HaKavod.
Happy
