BERCHOT HATORAH
"Blessed are You, O Lord, Our God, King of the universe, Who selected us from all the peoples and gave us His Torah, Blessed are You, O Lord, Giver of the Torah.
Blessed are You, O Lord, Our God, King of the universe, who gave us the Torah of truth and implanted eternal life within us. Blessed are You, O Lord, Giver of the Torah."
This image is the expression of the blessings that frame the chanting of a portion of Torah. The honor of saying these blessings is called an aliyah, 'going up' to the Torah.
God is exemplified by the color red at the top of the painting with his wide influence raining down in the drips and bands of color. The red bands that head down to the red circle represent the giving of Torah at Mount Sinai. This revelation happened in the second book of Moses. Each of the rectangles symbolizes one of the five books of Moses.
The painting has at its center, the silhouette of the Torah scroll (including the pomegranate tops.) Within this form are lines that embrace the scroll, showing how we embrace the Torah. Also in the Torah image, are the first and last letters of the Torah, bet and lamed. The red circles reference the gematria (numerology) of those letters, two dots for two and three dots for thirty. According to The Ethics of Our Fathers, thirty is the age of greatest strength.
