The moon represents the in-dwelling presence of the feminine of the Creator, the Shekinah, here on earth. Since earliest times, humanity has held a fascination with the moon. Its lunar cycles mark time for ancient people and mark a woman’s monthly cycle. The moon also symbolizes the Jewish people whose glory will shine with the healing of our world and messianic times. The waning of the moon symbolizes that the earth is not yet healed and our purpose is repair of our sacred earth and each other.
Kabbalists identify light with Shekinah, with the sun, the moon, the rainbow, dew and rain, as a source of divine goodness. Shabbat and Jewish holidays involve the lighting of candles symbolizing holiness, spiritual energy and the triumph of light over darkness. The Torah is often described with images of light, as is the soul. Light, miraculously has no volume, takes up no space and yet sets us in time. There from our beginning, a wave and a particle, light is invisible and visible, revealing the world without boundaries, without type, rejecting prejudice, triggering the sensation of colour, inspiring the wonder of the rainbow, nourishing our bodies through its force of life, replenishing our minds, our spirits and enabling to hope.
