“Tzedek, tzedek tirdof” — “Justice, justice shall you pursue.”
Deuteronomy 16:20
These words have been part of Jewish life for generations, calling us to pursue justice and to consider how we pursue it. I created this artwork around the Hebrew phrase tzedek, tzedek tirdof, using the boldness of the lettering to give the verse a strong presence on the wall.
This 16 × 16 inch giclée print reproduces my original hand-cut papercut. The Hebrew remains the focus of the design, making the piece at home in a Jewish household, office, library, study, classroom, or community space.
The verse is often translated as “Justice, justice shall you pursue.” The repetition of tzedek, the Hebrew word for justice or righteousness, emphasizes the pursuit itself. It is a phrase that has particular meaning for lawyers, judges, educators, social workers, rabbis, advocates, and community leaders, but you certainly don't need one of those professions to appreciate the words.
This print also makes a meaningful Jewish gift for a bar or bat mitzvah, graduation, ordination, retirement, housewarming, new office, or other milestone.
