SOLD Private Collection

Tet's numerical value is nine, which corresponds to the months of gestation.   The first Tet that appears in the Torah is in the word "Tov", which means 'good' (Genesis 1:4).    Our Guide in choosing the good in life is the Torah, which is called "a good acquisition".

"For a good acquisition have I given to you; do not forsake my Torah" (Proverbs 54:2) is the translation of the text at the top of the painting.
