All Is Vanity Oversized faded t-shirt

"Havel havalim, amar Kohelet – havel havalim, hakol havel." Vanity of vanities, all is vanity. King Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, had everything a human being could desire – gold, power, palaces and pleasure – and still he wrote that it was all hevel: vapor, a breath that disappears before you can hold it.

The sages teach that the word hevel appears seven times in that verse, one for each day of creation – everything made under the sun is temporary. The Kabbalists go deeper: every breath of hevel is a spark of holiness waiting to be lifted. Nothing is meaningless when it is used for the Creator, and nothing is worth anything when it is used only for the ego. This vintage-style design is a daily reminder to stop chasing the vapor of Babylon and invest your breath in what lasts forever.
