The Legend

At twilight on the sixth day of creation, the Holy-One-Who-Dwells-in-This-World created th emany miracles that were given to humankind, the greatest of which was Miriam’s Well, the Well that provided water for the Israelites as they wandered through the desert. Ha-Shem placed the light of creation in this sacred Well, surrounded it with a labyrinth of gateways, and gave it to the keeping of the women of the tribe of Miriam. It is said that in every generation a gatekeeper will be born to hold open the gateways of the Well, so that the light of divine inspiration may forever shine in the hearts and souls of humankind.
