The Wall, the last surviving segment of Solomon's glorious Second Temple, destroyed by the Romans before they expelled the Jews from the Land of Israel.  For over 2000 years, Jews around the world have prayed to Jerusalem and the Western Wall.

The clenched signifies strength and determination.  Over the millennia, wherever they have been, the Jewish people have been persecuted. The Roman's exiled us from the Land of Israel, the Spanish Inquisition drove the Jews from Spain and Portugal, across Europe Jews were persecuted because of their faith, the Nazi's brutally murdered more than 6,000,000 Jews during the Holocaust and, since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948,  our enemies have never stopped in the determination and efforts to destroy.  For Jews, the clenched fist against the Star of David send a message to those who sought to destroy us in the past and those who seek to destroy us today that we shall not give in, that we are strong, will remain strong and will not allow ourselves to be exiled or slaughtered as in the past.  

After the Great Flood, God commanded Noah to send forth a dove to seek out dry land.  According to tradition, the dove eventually returned carrying an olive branch – thus signifying that the Great Flood was over.  Over the ages, the dove and the olive branch have become a symbol of peace between men and nations.  It is also a symbol that symbolizes the State of Israel and the return of the Jewish People to their homeland after 2000 years of exile. 

The 10 Commandments – Originally inscribed on stone by God and given to Moses on the Mount of Sinai following the Exodus of the Jewish people from Egypt, the 10 Commandments are the most significant set of laws known to man and the foundation of many of the world's legal systems.  10 simple rules that encompass the entire scope of human life and our interaction with our fellow man.  In just a few short lines, the 10 Commandments provide us with an all encompassing code of behavior that will ensure a better life for us all.  This picture of Moses with the stone tablets will serve as a constant reminder of God's commandment to us all to live a good life, a better life, a life in which we honor not only Him, but also our fellow man – whoever and wherever he may be.
