The central image in this window is
a scroll of the Torah. Torah is a Hebrew word meaning teaching or law. It is
most central and most important document of Judaism. It is also called the Law
of Moses (Tarat Moshe) and primarily refers to the first five books of the
Torah, which are as follows: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and
Deuteronomy. In Deuteronomy (6: 4-5) is the great faith/prayer (the Shema) of
Israel - "Hear o Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord. Therefore you shall
love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all
your strength. Also included in the Torah (Deuteronomy 5: 6-21) are the Ten
Commandments, the first three dealing with the Love of God and the rest dealing
with love of neighbor.
The flames surrounding the Scroll depict
the light and power of God's word given to us through his servant Moses. Below
the Torah is the Holy Name on God YHWH in Hebrew, which was given to Moses at
the burning bush and which means I AM WHO AM.
