A shiviti (or shivisi) is a traditional Jewish Kabbalistic visual meditation aid, akin in purpose to a mandala. Its name comes from the opening word of Psalm 16:8: “I have set the Lord before me constantly,” which appears at the crown along with the sacred Name of God at the center. Below it, Psalm 67 forms the centerpiece, arranged in the shape of the Temple lampstand (Menorah).
Designed to inspire mindfulness of the Divine presence, this piece is perfect for display near your altar, in a meditation room, or in any space dedicated to spiritual practice—anywhere you wish to be gently reminded of God’s omnipresence.
Our shiviti is carefully engraved on a plaque of reclaimed hardwood, then finished with a light protective coat that enhances the intricate design while bringing out the natural warmth and beauty of the wood grain.
Because each piece is made from reclaimed wood, every shiviti is truly one-of-a-kind. Variations in wood species, color, and grain pattern may occur, depending on material availability, and are part of its unique character and natural charm.
