The Rashi School is an independent Jewish day school in the Boston area. This mosaic was created for the Sukkat Shalom (Shelter of Peace). The design has three components: a center rainbow that forms a canopy for daily school life; the left section, which celebrates the students' service to the outside community; and the right section, which makes connections to Israel. These components are unified beneath the protective border of a Jewish prayer shawl (tallit). Both the mosaic's visual narrative and the process of the making the mosaic contribute to Peace at the Rashi School.
