The Shviti


Central to all of Jewish spirituality is the following quote from the Book of Psalms: “I place God before me always”. (Psalm 145:18).

Plaques, such as the one above, were always to be found somewhere on the bima of old orthodox synagogues with the phrase in Hebrew: Shviti adonai knegdi tamid, hence the title “the Shviti.” They were there back then to remind the congregation to keep God before them at all times. Framed Shviti commemorative inscriptions are now available online to frame and hang in a prominent place in the home as a constant reminder to focus our attention on God at all times.<
