I have once again used the theme of the Scales of Justice as unbalanced —
suggesting our constant attempts to create a world of justice for all.

The Dove — The Symbol of Peace
Magain David — The Star of David
I love the way the light plays with the glass in this piece.
The contrast between daylight and night is absolutely striking!
The commission was for a simple Hamsa. I was told glass was to be red and white. I began by placing a silver filigree hamsa in the center. When I drew the diamond shape, it looked like a Ner Tamid – with the fingers of the hamsa as the flame. The blue iridescent Magain David completes the piece. During the day the flame shines. At night, all one sees is the blue mirrored reflection of the Star of David. I hope it finds a nice home!

May the warmth of family and friends bring light to you and yours this Thanksgiving / Chanukah.
Do you know someone with a Wine Cellar, or perhaps a Tasting Room?
Can you imagine how nice this glass would look if displayed there?
Tzedek Tzedek Tirdof — Justice, Justice Shall You Pursue !
Rabbi Robert Dobrusin celebrated his 25th year as rabbi at Congregation Beth Israel in Ann Arbor. The 8th grade graduating class of 2013 created this mosaic of the Scales of Justice which will hang outside our chapel.
In gold mirror glass is the word Tzedek – Justice. It honors the work our Rabbi Dobrusin does for the organization T’ruah, The Rabinnic Call for Human Rights.
Congratulations to our graduates and congratulations to our rabbi!

POMEGRANATES!!
This Masterpiece is proudly displayed in the dining room of Matt Kaplan and Caroline Helton. It represents one of the Seven Species.
The Seven Species are seven types of fruits and grains enumerated in the Hebrew Bibleas being special products of the Land of Israel. Jewish tradition teaches that the pomegranate is a symbol for righteousness, because it is said to have 613 seeds which corresponds with the 613 mitzvot or commandments of the Torah. The pomegranate is one of the few images which appear on ancient coins of Judea as a holy symbol, and today many Torah scrolls are stored while not in use with a pair of decorative hollow silver “pomegranates” (rimmonim) placed over the two upper scroll handles. Some Jewish scholars believe that it was the pomegranate that was the forbidden fruit of the Garden of Eden.
