  2. Cheshvan (October/November): A lone tree shedding its vibrant leaves in the rain, symbolizing the transition from the holidays to the introspective period.
  3. Tevet (December/January): An image of a lit menorah in a window, with the reflection casting a warm and inviting glow, celebrating the festival of Hanukkah.
  4. Adar (February/March): A collage of colorful, abstract masks interwoven with musical notes, representing the festive spirit and the tradition of wearing costumes during Purim.
  5. Iyar (April/May): A close-up of a lush, flourishing garden with dewdrops on delicate petals, symbolizing the growth and renewal of spring during Lag BaOmer.
  6. Av (July/August): A fragmented image of a shattered glass, capturing the bittersweet nature of Tisha B’Av and the destruction of the Temple.
