"Redemption"

Charlottesville Beth Israel
Charlottesville, Virginia

Our design on the theme of "Redemption, revolves around the prayer for redemption, the "Mi Chamocha." A red sea divides. The dividing of the Red Sea was the climax of the series of miracles that redeemed the Israelites from Egypt.	Two candles, symbolizing "Shabbat," flank the composition. The smoke of the candles intermingles, to form the word, "Zachor," meaning, "remember."
The background of our composition is a visual representation of this page of Torah. The text is there, in stanza form, with the first four words of the "Mi Chamocha" centered, enlarged and redndered in gold.	An emblem contains a vision of "Jerusalem On High," the "ideal Jerusalem," "Jerusalem Shel Zahav."
