Nine men have gathered to form a minyan, and they wait for a tenth to complete the quorum. A special power is attributed to the community of ten which creates a Place where God’s Presence (Shechina) can rest. The simple choice to show up brings a Presence that does not exist in the world of individual prayer. In a unique addition touch and through an artful appreciation for the reflective quality of glass, when you look at this painting, you step inside, the synagogue comes to life, and you are the one who completes the quorum.
This painting utilizes all the advantages of painting on multiple levels of glass to create depth, a sense of grandeur and spaciousness, light and shadow. A warm pallet of yellows and purples creates an inviting space, brought to life by the light pouring through the windows.
The design of this synagogue borrows elements from famous synagogues around the world. Hear Oh Israel and the ten commandments appear prominently in the middle of the scene, at the heart of what it means to live a life that is connected and in alignment with the Creator.
