Take a closer look at details, colour variations
Multi-talented women have long been valued in Jewish life. This profile of praise for the Woman of Valour dates to biblical times with quotations from Proverbs 31.
The English text reads: A woman of valour, who can find? Far beyond pearls is her value. Her palm spreads to the poor, her hands extend to the needy. Strength and splendor are her clothing. Her mouth opens with wisdom and the teachings of kindness. She is devoted to her family. A God-fearing woman, she should be praised. "Many daughters have attained valour, but you have surpassed them all." Give her the fruit of her hand, let her deeds praise her in the gates.
