Menachem Mendel Schneerson, or the Rebbe Schneerson was known for his intelligence and strong memory. Many testimonies attribute the performance of miracles to Schneerson. Schneerson's published teachings fill more than 300 volumes, and he is noted for his contributions to Jewish continuity and religious thought, as well as his wide-ranging contributions to traditional Torah scholarship. He is recognized as the pioneer of Jewish outreach.

I read his book that i highly recommended called "Toward a Meaningful Life" by Simon Jacobson.

The Rebbe wanted the World to become a better place; it starts with one kind small Act. That Act takes on a life of its own and grows.

since i was so touched by the Book and it deep meanings, ive decided to dedicate this work in his memory.

the work is based upon the Hebrew alphabet, i created in illustrator multiple canvases, each canvas holds a single letter.

the next step was a bit tricky because i wanted to use the same number of characters as in the "Torah" (Jewish Bible) . i collected all the data in one table, each letter had a unique number of times it appear:

so all in all we are looking at 304,805 characters = elements

after some adjustment i was finally ready to do some testing and was very happy with the results:
