"May my mouth speak praises of G-d, and may all flesh bless the Name of the Holy One forever and ever. We will bless G-d now and forever, Halleluyah!" (Psalm 145:21)

The final letter of the Hebrew alphabet is tav, com-posed of the letters daled and nun, a “door” and “light.” Fittingly, tav starts both the words “Torah,” (the Five Books of Moses that reveals the light of G-d’s wisdom), and “Talmud” (the 63 volumes of the Oral Law brought down from Mt. Sinai with the written law.)

“Tikkun Olam” begins with a tav. It is the charge that we all have to repair and bring beauty to this world. We are not individually responsible for eradicating all evil and suffering, but we are mandated to use our
G-d given talents and resources to do our part.

"Chalom" in Hebrew means "Dreams," like that of Yakkov Aveinu (Jacob our Father) who dreamt of angels traveling up and down a ladder between heaven and earth. The gestural qualities of these paintings explore the dreamlike spiritual qualities of the Hebrew letters.
