These
etchings will be installed in the sanctuary entrance doors
at The New Synagogue. "Emet," or "truth,"
is made up of the first, the middle and the last letters
of the Hebrew Alphabet and is thereby a symbol of all
the letters and everything that comes from them.The mirror
images of the word refers to an Eastern European myth
that tells of a time when all the letters were mirror
images and were used for many more things than mere writing,
by the angels, whose jealousy, at the creation of Mankind,
caused the letters to be truncated as we now know them.
Around the border, the "tohu v'vohu," or raw
material of creation transforms from darkness to light |
