This is from part of a water color by Ben Shahn. I don’ think anybody was really just standing at Sinai, but there must have been some movement. While we were standing at Sinai, we did not completely “get” Sinai. We were witnesses, but there is still much we must do.
Image as midrash
I love the way that an artist’s work can be reframed or transformed into a personal image to create a meaningful response to the questions generated by Torah. Dialogue between text, image and meaning is the intention of this virtual beit hamidrash.
