LIGHT OF THE WORLD by Penina Schleider
Light of the World is a tribute to Yerushalayim—Oro Shel Olam, the light of the world. This painting reflects the deep truth that Jerusalem is more than a city. It is a source of spiritual light that radiates far beyond its walls, quietly illuminating every soul, every corner of the earth.
The golden tones and soft radiance at the center draw the viewer inward, toward a glowing heart that represents Yerushalayim herself. Figures appear gently around her, not rushing, but moving with reverence—drawn toward something eternal. The light isn’t loud or blinding; it’s steady and sacred, like the flame of a ner tamid, always burning.
As I painted, I thought of how Yerushalayim holds the prayers of generations—how its light never dims, even when veiled. It is the city where heaven and earth once met and will meet again. The beauty in this piece comes not from grandeur, but from presence.
Light of the World is a painting of longing, of hope, and of the quiet power that radiates from the heart of our people. Yerushalayim is not just our past or our future—it is our light, even now.
This painting can be printed in any size and on a variety of materials — from luxurious art canvas to sleek Chromaluxe metal, elegant glass panels, or other unique surfaces.
