"The 5 books of Moses are a treasure. This image, Breishit, is a detail of Treasure Chest, a metall box about 6" tall.
With relief sculptures of each of the 5 books cast in bronze, this box is a treasure chest, it speaks of the treasure of Torah."
On the holiday, Breishit, or Genesis, is read from the second scroll.
