Medal - Wisdom of Kabbalah - Rabbi Moshe Cordoviro (The Ramak)
Obverse: One side of the medal is decorated with 10 pomegranates, alluding to the 10 Sefirot and the important work of Rabbi Moshe Cordovero ( 1522-1570 ), entitled The Pomegranate Orchard, which explains the Kabbalistic concepts. Around the border is the verse in Hebrew, "And they who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament, " Daniel 12:3, a promise of a bright future for those who merit it and a subtle reference to the Book of the Zohar (Brightness), containing the secrets of the Kabbalah, said to have been revealed by Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai, the 2nd century teacher of the oral law.
