This design for the Tree of Life was executed and installed in 2001. A tree with roots extending into the raw material of creation spells out "Aytz Chaim." The names of the 54 Torah portions are aligned vertically. 613 colored divisions surrounding the tree, symbolize the 613 mitzvot of the Torah. The four phases of the moon along with ten pomegranates, complete the composition.
