Personalized Bar or Bat Mitzvah Art :: "Torah Legacy"
This B'nai Mitzvah art is aptly called "Torah Legacy". The outermost portion of the design depicts a field of blue, symbolizing our connection to the divine Creator, Hashem.
Overlaying this field of blue and separated by a silver border is a "Tallit" or prayer shawl. This sacred shawl, seems to envelop the personalized text of the Bar or Bat Mitzvah boy or girl. The fringes on the "tallit" are tied in knots to represent the 613 mitzvot or commandments prescribed by Gd.
At the top of the design, a sacred torah scroll and yad break free of the circular silver window and seem to invite the viewer to enter the spiritual realm of Judaism and Jewish learning.
Within the text area of the design, above the name of the Bar or Bat Mitzvah boy or girl, is the following inspirational quote by Elie Wiesel, "Our obligation is to give meaning to life, and in doing so to overcome the passive, indifferent life".
These words, along with the imagery of torah and tallit, are meant to inspire the Bar or Bat Mitzvah boy or girl to embrace their place in the Jewish community and to actively pursue the values, rituals and mitzvot that will bring spiritual fulfillment into their own lives.
