Our composition, on the theme of "The Ten Commandments," is simple: Dogwood blossoms, native to Charlottesville,   surround the Ten Commandments, which are rendered in gold dichroic glass. The first "aleph." of the first commandment is enlarged, to emphasize this commandment:   "I am the Lord, thy God."	A lightening bolt, filled with hundreds of Hebrew letters, suggests Israel's experience at Sinai,of the divine presence, implicit in the first commandment. A lightening bolt, filled with hundreds of Hebrew letters, suggests Israel's experience at Sinai,of the divine presence, implicit in the first commandment.
Six-hundred and thirteen black and white squares form the arches.  The background blends from dark to light, from day to night.	A light green graduated border creates a light and delicate feeling which makes the whole composition appear to float.
