The Second Commandment forbids creating or worshiping images used as idols or tied to pagan religious practices, but it does not prohibit all artwork. Scripture allows decorative imagery—such as pomegranates, cherubim, and the bronze serpent—while commanding physical reminders like mezuzot and tzitziyot. The biblical standard is clear: remove idols, reject pagan symbols, and use only the reminders God instructs for obedience.

Explaining the Tallit Logo
This message explains the logo of the corner of a tallit against the blue sky. This was the first logo when we decided to use this site and it represents the fringe of Yeshua’s cloak mentioned at Matthew 9:20 and other places. Wearing a blue tassels for fringes, in Hebrew tzit-tzit or tzit-tziyot, is the only commanded article of clothing for a believer. It comes from Numbers 15:38 and is tool to help one remember to keep the Torah aka commandments. This logo was replaced with the Tree of Life logo in November of 2023.
