Doctor's Blessing Pen

The Birkat HaRofeh Pen is based on the doctor’s prayer composed by Moses ben Maimon (Maimonides), known as the Rambam. Maimonides was a devoted physician who attended to the Sultan of Egypt in his palace. In a famous letter, Maimonides describes his daily routine: “I find the antechambers filled with gentiles and Jews . . . I go to heal them, and write prescriptions for their illnesses . . . until the evening . . . and I would be extremely weak.” The artist has created a unique pen. The body of the pen is carved of Jerusalem stone, lending the piece an ancient feel and connecting the user to Israel and its heart, Jerusalem. The text of the doctor’s prayer is carved in ancient Qumran Hebrew letters. The cover and base of the pen are brass with a gold finish. Made in Israel from Jerusalem Stone. The Birkat HaRofeh Pen is a unique heirloom. Please note: This item will ship within 14 days of your order. Size: Length: 14 cm
