Item Description
This artwork is titled "Avenu Malkeinu", the High Holiday petition to be inscribed in the book of life.
The Ten Days of Repentance from Rosh Hashanah through Yom Kippur are 10 swirling images like a hurricane leading to the final inscription on the book of life in the eye of the storm.
In each swirl are pictures of doom and of life. Death representations within the burning circle include the bombing of Ninevah (Aleppo) and a skeleton descending into the vortex of a black hole. Life pictures are an embryo, verdant mountains and a stream of tashlich. Shofars trumpet across the landscape while a parent enfolds and protects children under a tallit (reconstructed duchening). Stories of the High Holidays are represented by Jonah's whale and refugees (Hagar) fleeing famine to be held back by barbed wire. The final verdict is "Chai" (life).
Item Special Note
