Rosh HaShanah Akedah
The Binding of Isaac
This image is an expression of one High Holy Day Torah portion
that is chanted, telling the story of the binding of Isaac (the Akedah).
The Akedah was the tenth and final trial that G-d presented to Abraham.
The first trials are shown as imperfect orbs, building
momentum as they approach the red orb, the final trial.
The black column running through the center of the image represents
the moment of silence between the two words when the angels called out,
"Avraham...Avraham!"
During this moment, Abraham was transformed from
having blind faith in G-d, to having perfect faith.
Abraham's lack of understanding G-d's will through
His request, transitioned into complete understanding.
The contrast of mind set is represented by the opposing sides of
the black column. The left side is filled with trials; the right side
shows Abraham's perfect faith, symbolized by the perfect circle.
The viewer is directed to this image of perfect faith through the
twisted lines of the ram's horn (shofar) as it references the ram
that was sacrificed in place of Abraham's son, as told in the Akedah.
