| Genesis 22:18 Print
For David Moss, the denouement of the story of the Binding of Isaac is verse 18, as God promises Abraham: “And through your seed shall all the peoples of the earth be blessed for you have listened to My voice.†These nine Hebrew words constitute an eternal mission for the Jewish people. They are at the same time a blessing and a charge, an honor and a duty, a promise and a hope. This verse became the mandela-like image in the story without words, which Moss did originally as a mural for the Akiba Academy in Dallas. It was then produced as a separate, giclיe, art print.
Later, he realized that it almost perfectly reflected one of the very first things he helped design for the campus. The round Bet Midrash, representing the place of Torah – the word of God – sits in the center of the campus. All the other buildings surround it with meaningful gaps between them. These represent the school’s commitment to be centered in Judaism and Torah, but open to bringing in the best of the outside world and especially to carry the best of Torah out to the entire surrounding community. This is exactly the message of verse 18, which Moss has depicted in this print.
