A detail of the double helix of the DNA molecule shows that it is inscribed with the names of the 54 Torah portions
Each fruit, on the tree of life contains the letters of a different prayer of thanksgiving.
Because of the way a double helix turns as it extends, half of the Torah portion names read forward from the inside of the sanctuary and the other hal read forward from the exterior of the chapel, where the outdoor Peskin Chapel shares the Lopati Chapel Stained glass.
