| One summer day, Erev Shabbat, it was said of the cut roses that would be on the Shabbat table that evening, "You should have left them." I heard myself say, "These roses will have a higher honor on my Shabbat table in their short life than all those that were left on the bushes." In this dialogue came the inspiration to paint the Kiddush table soon after Havdalah to forever preserve the life of those short-lived roses that glorified HaShem's Holy Shabbat, and the beauty and warm tones of that summer evening Kiddush.
