Supporting the Ashreinu Coffee Table and Side Table, and creating the Ashreinu Girl, are branches of white oak trees, a species to which Melanie is particularly indebted, as this species grows on and nourishes the piece of the Earth in which she flourishes. Without trees providing a basic foundation to life on Earth, our happiness and history and beloved traditions might not be possible.
Ashreinu ma tov chelkeinu, umanayim goraleinu, umayafa yerushateinu - Happy are we! How goodly is our portion, and how pleasant is our lot, and how beautiful our heritage!
