I painted this while pregnant with my second child. I wanted to remember the holiness of pregnancy. Judaism teaches that while the baby is in its mother’s womb, an angel teaches them the entire Torah. Written is the first verse of the Torah, and the beginning of Tanya, where it teaches that each soul, before descending to earth, promises to be righteous. An abstract heart envelopes the baby symbolizing the love between baby, mother, and G‑d.
