Parasha of the Week Mishpatim n. 19
G-d has just given the Ten Commandments on mount Sinai. Moshé informs the people of numerous ethical and ritual laws and seals the covenant between the Children of Israel and G-d. Rashi writes a Midrash on what G-d told to Moshé: “I gave you the Tables of the Law, including the Ten Commandments and the whole Torah, but you have the duty to make it as understandable as possible in such a way that the people will be able to accept and observe it.” Therefore Moshé begins to explain and comment the laws of the Torah.
Parasha of the Week Mishpatim n. 19
Moshé ha appena ricevuto i Dieci Comandamenti sul monte Sinai. Moshé riferisce ai figli d’Israele le numerose leggi etiche e rituali e sigla il patto tra il Signore e il suo popolo. Rashi racconta che il Signore si rivolge a Moshé con queste parole: «Dopo averti consegnato le Tavole della Legge, con i Dieci Comandamenti e tutta la Torah, non ti salti in mente di consegnarla al popolo di Israele così come Io la consegno a te, ma tu, Moshé, hai il dovere di rendergliela il più possibile comprensibile, in modo tale che essi, comprendendola, possano anche accettarla e osservarla […]». A questo scopo Moshé comunica, commenta e spiega quanto ha ricevuto.
The image above, is showing the opening part of our Illustrated Torah scroll with the first 4 sidrot. This is a canvas reproduction of the opening part of our Medium size Illustrated Torah Scroll. The scroll contains all 54 sidrot of the Torah in paintings. It is used as a fundraiser (MAKES BETWEEN 75k and 145k) for communities and it costs a tiny fraction.
As you can see here in the video, this is also a great tool for Simchat Torah and the picture of 250 kids all holding the scroll up gives the chills.
I hope to have awakened your curiosity. We have to help each other in times of distress, and this is the way we can help you and you can help us.
If you are interested, let us know and I will send to you the “Real sampler” Free of Charge.
BTW, Michal is now painting an original scroll which will be ready in approximately one year.
Same paintings only originals on canvas and will be made out as a scroll.
Cordially Be’Shalom, Michal and Alon
