Artist’s Statement: On Shavuot we celebrate the Giving of the Torah, the biggest gift the Jewish people were ever given! The Torah starts with the Hebrew letter “bet” (bereshit), and is called the Tree of Life. This inspired me to make this drawing. I love working with letters. When I was a small child I used to sit and look at a simple but very powerful poster in my father's study with Torah verses and a menorah; I guess that's when it started.
