In Kabbalah, the lily symbolizes the Sefirah of Malkhut - the feminine sphere that receives the supernal light and spreads it in the world. The name Shoshana represents the pure soul that blossoms from within difficulties, like the white lily growing among thorns. The six-petaled flower represents the six days of creation, and the seventh - the center - symbolizes the Sabbath and spiritual perfection.
