The Priestly Blessing is a Hebrew prayer recited by Kohanim - the Hebrew Priests. According to Torah, they are descendants of Aaron the first High Priest, older brother of Moses and have been divinely chosen by God to work in the Tabernacle and assist the Israelites in blessings, ministering, sacrifices and atoning for their sins to God, for all eternity.
The text of the Priestly Blessing recited by the Kohanim, which appears verbatim in the Torah, is: May the LORD bless you and keep you. May the LORD make His face shed light upon you and be gracious unto you. May the LORD lift up His face unto you and give you peace. This is a signed original acrylic painting on canvas painted by Esther Newman Cohen.
