This painting is part of a new series of Bereshit paintings by artist Etja Ruth.

“The children of Abraham, / bowing their heads / to bury the past and join hands in grief.”

“May the descendants of Abraham, Sarah and Hagar drink from Be’er L’chai Ro’i, the wellspring of divine nourishment…”

“There was nothing in this world or in the others / that could corrupt this perfect garden…”

“May the One who blessed our common ancestor Abraham bless and heal his children…”

“Peace for my Muslim cousins / Is peace for my Jewish siblings…”

“Abraham sat all night with the body of his beloved that he bathed tenderly…”

“Will we, in the end, be as careful as he?”
