The luster of diamonds illuminates the divine light of the Torah. The letters in the word diamond, “yahalom” or “יהלום” echo those in the name of God, “Elohim” or “אלוהים”. By combining the Torah and diamonds, OrYahalom sheds new light on the role of each one in the universe.
Diamonds are the ultimate substance formed from nothingness, black carbon transformed into brilliant white light. They are the material through which we can best comprehend God’s creation of the world as well as the inner light of the soul. A polished diamond expresses mankind’s ability to partner with God in creation. OrYahalom celebrates the bond between the Torah and diamonds, both of which emanate their mutual light to all of humanity.
