"O' Daughters Of Jerusalem"

For my soul mate - Amir Roggel - Celebrating our 20th anniversary

"Daughters of Jerusalem" is the chorus to whom the bride tells about her love union in the bible script "The Song of Songs". Kabbalism, from 13th century, considers the kiss a superior form of expression of love union, where spirits unite and become one. This united spirit makes a mystic journey to the "Palace of Love". Brancusi's sculpture, where the kissing figures remain part of one limestone block, is a powerful modern-art representation of this merging into one.

These sentences from "The Song of Songs" are stenciled on the quilt:
Let him kiss me with kisses of his mouth...
This is my lover this is my friends O' Daughters of Jerusalem.
His left hand is under my head and his right arm embraces me.
