Inspired by the beautiful landscapes
of the Galilee, the painting beneath the main archway invites you to walk
down the path between the olive trees, cypresses, palms and fertile fields
into the hills of northern Israel. Beneath the vignette and above the text
are the Hebrew words from the Song of Songs: "I am my beloved and my beloved is mine." On either side of the text the winding plants symbolize the two sides which will unite through marriage.
