It’s not a secret- but I love what I do.
I love the days and the nights.
The pens and the papers.
The lines that start to resemble people.
The people that start to become friends.

It is good to give thanks to Hashem/G-d and sing his praise.

I feel blessed to be a narrator. To draw the hope and heART I see in the world. by @naomiygal

“Every delay is for the best” is a popular Hebrew saying.

I started drawing a special book for a dear friend.
It’s delayed but happening at the right time.

Stay tuned as we discover Corrientes together.

It’s a popular Hebrew saying, **not a pasuk from Tanach**. by @naomiygal

Drawn from the Torah insights and wisdom of Rabbi Zweig;

Rashi (9:22) explains the circumstances of these events: Noach’s son Cham (upon seeing his father naked and passed out drunk) emasculated his father and joyfully reported his actions to his brothers. Rashi (9:25) further explains that Cham was driven by the desire to eliminate competition for their inheritance: As long as there were three brothers, the world would be divided only among them, but if Noach were to have additional children, they would have to share it with more heirs. In Cham’s view, he had done the family a service by mutilating his father.

Rashi explains that this disparity is because Shem’s merit was greater since he acted with greater alacrity than Yefes in the performance of this mitzvah. Nevertheless, it is difficult to believe that a modicum of extra effort, led to such a colossal difference between the two brothers’ rewards.

To properly understand why each one received the reward that he did, one must examine the mindsets and motivations behind their actions.

Shem and Yefes had very different reasons for wanting to cover their father.

Shem, who would later lead the Yeshiva of “Shem and Ever” had an innate sensitivity that the human body needs to be covered for its own dignity. After hearing that his father was exposed in his tent, Shem quickly went to remedy the situation.

Yefes, who is identified as the father of the Greeks, was the precursor of the well-known Greek philosophy extolling the virtues and beauty of the naked human form. In fact, the name Yefes come from the Hebrew word “yafeh – beautiful.” In his mind, the body doesn’t need to be covered; however, once he heard that Cham had mutilated the body, he felt compelled to cover it because it was no longer an object of beauty.

Shem, whose instinct was to add dignity to human body by covering it, was rewarded with a dignified article of clothing proclaiming that the wearer is in the service of God, a high honor indeed. Yefes’ reward was that the mutilated bodies of his decedents on the battlefield would merit burial, because that was his instinct; to cover a mutilated body. by @naomiygal

Colorado’s Nathan MacKinnon and Dallas’s Roope Hintz dropped their gloves. A few punches later, MacKinnon needed stitches.

I’d rather draw the lines than take a punch. 🥊 😉 by @naomiygal
