This circular wall plaque centers on a traditional blessing for the home, framed by hand drawn floral details in blue, green, and muted violet tones. The design unfolds outward from the central text through layered ornamentation: pressed flowers across the upper border, curling vines surrounding the frame, and a small Jerusalem style home positioned at the base.
Dvora Black created this piece in Tzur Hadassah, in the Jerusalem Hills, where much of her artwork is inspired by the architecture, vegetation, and decorative traditions associated with the region. The arched doorway behind the plaque recalls the carved stone entrances found throughout older Jerusalem neighborhoods, while the floral motifs resemble illuminated Judaica manuscripts and synagogue ornamentation.
The plaque itself is lightweight and prepared for hanging, with an adhesive wall mount attached to the reverse side. Its scale allows it to rest naturally near an entranceway, kitchen, or shared living area where the words remain visible within daily household life.
The blessing printed at the center reads:
“May this home bring happiness, health, peace, and abundant blessings to all who live within.”
“The Lord will command the blessing upon you in your house.”
— Deuteronomy 28:8

Home Blessing by Dvora
Dvora Black studied Fine Arts in South Africa before moving to Israel in 1984 with her husband, Yochanan. After settling in the Jerusalem Hills, she began developing Judaica artwork shaped by the surrounding landscape, biblical texts, and decorative traditions associated with Jerusalem homes and synagogues.
Her studio in Tzur Hadassah produces blessings, wall art, and paper-cut inspired works combining illustrated botanical detail with scriptural and domestic themes. Many of her pieces incorporate flowers gathered from the hills surrounding Jerusalem alongside visual references drawn from synagogue windows, stone houses, and hand-painted manuscript traditions.
