Each
of the Five Books of Moses is to be decorated with it's corresponding
Hebrew letter. Each letter is illuminated with
symbols of the content of that particular Book.
The
letter, "Hay," is illuminated with the symbols of
Deuteronomy: The Torah with the name of Israel written
on it; three stars over Jerusalem, alluding to the promised
land; a dove among seven stars; the palm tree, symbol of victory
and of Jerusalem
