Description

One of the commandments in Judaism is that every Jew should write the Torah on a parchment scroll. When a Jew completes his own Torah scroll, or when a professional scribe did it for him, it’s celebrated with a festive parade that involves hundreds of Jews who escort the Torah scroll singing and dancing until it reaches the synagogue’s ark. In the painting, Jews are depicted in various colors, to show that despite their differences, they all rejoice at the arrival of a Torah scroll that is identical in every Jewish community around the world to the first one that was written thousands of years ago by Moses.
