This is my artwork for Parshat Vayera, concerning the difficult story of “Akedat Yitzhak” – the Binding of Isaac. I used a lot of red, which intensifies the drama of the situation, but, as this is primarily a work of Jewish art for a younger audience, I limited the tension and emphasized the good and powerful outcome, symbolized by the swirling, friendly cloud emanating golden rays of light and perhaps also being the source of the breath of wind in Abraham’s hair. (The breath, of course, symbolizing life).
