Schneur Zalman Ahron - This quilt was made for a special nephew. The quilt is made up of Judaic motifs. The torah scroll (with removable child's yad/pointer) has excerpts from the Scriptures of King Solomon's wisdom, and the large lower picture shows the Baal Shem Tov (who Zalman is also named for) on his way with his disciples to deliver aid to the needy. Zalman's name is in the center blue sky block, and his siblings' names are in the clouds around him. Ahron means "he runs after peace," so there is a circle of footprints around the dove of peace. The two candles represent the two lights, written and oral, of Torah. I designed and constructed this quilt after doing much research on the Chabad site to learn the history and meaning behind the stories and symbols.
