Text[0]=["FAR RIGHT","In the spirit of Rabbi Judah HaLevi (1075-1141) who said \"my heart is in the east,\" Shira's family tree faces her spiritual roots, where lyrics from Hatikva, (Israel's national anthem) proclaim: \"...towards the east, an eye looks to Zion.\" The family tree was inspired by the Bahir (an early Jewish mystical text), which describes Divinity emanating into the world like an \"inverted tree\" whose roots are in heaven. Chana painted the roots to resemble the Hebrew letter shin for Shaddai, a name of God associated with mezuzahs that protect Jewish households. Thus, the shin-tree expresses hope that zechut avot (ancestors' merit) brings guidance and protection. On the center roots are the baby's namesakes who watch her from heaven, with keter shem tov (the crown of a good name), referring to a passage in Pirkei Avot (Ethics of the Fathers 4:17). On the right is Psalms (128:6): \"May you see children born to your children [and] peace upon Israel.\" On the left is a passage from Marcia Falk's Book of Blessings: \"recalling the generations, we weave our lives into the tradition.\""]
Text[1]=["TOP RIGHT, TOWARD THE CENTER","The branches that move westward contain the names of the baby's family. Her parents' branch says, \"Compassion and Truth have met. Righteousness and Peace have kissed\" (Psalms 85:11). The images above the center branch symbolize the continuity and hope in the future: The circular phrase, adapted from liturgy, says, \"You are loved with unending love.\" The ner tamid (eternal lamp) is a synagogue symbol of perpetual divine guidance. And a picture of a carob tree branch alludes to a Talmudic story (Taanit 23a), wherein \"Honi the Circle-Maker\" criticized an old man for planting a carob tree, since he would surely not live to see it bear fruit. The old man said: \"Just as I found carob trees when I came into the world, so I am now planting carob trees for my grandchildren to enjoy.\""]
Text[2]=["CENTER","The olives in the dove's beak are part of the \"Seven Species\" signifying Israel's fertility: \"Wheat, barley, grapes, figs and pomegranates, oil-olives and date-honey\" (Deuteronomy 8:8-10). Chana uses these symbols to express wishes for the child's health and prosperity. The quotation by the dove, \"give her the fruit of her hands,\" is the final verse of Aishet Chayil (A Woman of Valor), sung in praise of Jewish women (Proverbs 31:31). On top is the blessing Isaac gave to Jacob (Genesis 27:28), \"May God give you the dews of the heavens and the fatness of the earth.\" Below is Jacob's blessing to Joseph (Genesis 49:25), \"...blessings of heaven from above, blessings of the deep resting below.\" In the center is Proverbs (3:2), \"[may God] add to you length of days and years of life and peace.\" The grapes fall into two silver Kiddush cups that say, \"I will raise the cup of redemption\" and the familiar L'chaim toast, \"to a good life and peace.\" Between the cups is Psalms 23:5, \"My cup overflows.\""]
Text[3]=["CENTER LEFT","The baby's family tree is a branch of the larger Jewish family, which is connected to yet another tree: The Torah, known as the \"tree of life.\" Chana included the prayer chanted upon opening the ark: \"She [the Torah] is a tree of life to those who hold fast to her.\" The tree branch here turns into a yad (Torah pointer). As a tribute to the baby's Ashkenazi and Sephardic heritage, the yad points to a Sephardic tik (Torah case) and an Ashkenazic scroll. The date of birth is included along with words from Hallel (the \"songs of praise\" recited on special days): \"[She] is a gift from God and a wonder in our eyes. This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice on it.\" Above that is the customary blessing for calling someone up to the Torah for an aliyah. This indicates that not only do we rejoice over the newborn, we also await her joyful aliyah as a Bat Mitzvah."]
Text[4]=["LEFT","Chana adapts \"kriyat shma al hamita\" (prayers upon going to sleep) to bless the baby: \"May God lay you down to sleep and awaken you again to life\" is alongside an assurance that God's angels will protect her: \"on your right is Michael; and on your left Gabriel; before you Uriel; behind you Raphael; and above your head the Shechina [the divine presence].\" The verse \"[may] the angel who redeemed me from evil bless the children\" leads to a ladder stretching above the heavens. Upon the rungs are lyrics from \"Forever Young\" by songwriter Bob Dylan. This image suggests Jacob's dream of angels ascending and descending a ladder Genesis (28:12), and is a wish for the baby to have big dreams. Beside it is a promise that God will keep His wakeful eye upon her as she sleeps. This eye-shaped section contains Psalms (121:4-8): \"Behold, He neither slumbers nor sleeps, the Guardian of Israel...God will protect you from every evil; He will guard your soul. God will guard your departures and your arrivals, for ever and ever.\" The tallit (prayer shawl) is spread out for shelter, and its striped pattern mirrors that of the ladder."]
Text[5]=["FAR LEFT","In the \"west,\" Chana offers a prayer inspired by tifilat haderech (prayer said before a journey): \"May God enable you to walk in peace, may He guide your steps in peace, may He direct your way in peace and bring you to your chosen destination with life, happiness and peace.\" Above the prayer is a compass, to symbolize the hope that the baby will grow to find her place and her way in the world. The blossoming branch is an extension of the roots of the family tree, and is Chana's blessing that the baby may blossom before the loving eyes of her family and community. And finally, there is a verse from kiddush levana (blessing the new moon), which complements the sunrise on the bottom right. It is the song Jews sing at simchas (celebrations): Siman Tov u'mazel tov yehai lanu ul'chol yisrael. Amen. May good luck and good fortune be ours and for the whole House of Israel. Amen."]
