The Finger of God-Vaera-D’var Torah-Rabbi Yakira
“The Creation of Adam” is a fresco painting by Italian artist Michelangelo. It illustrates the Biblical creation narrative from the Book of Genesis in which G-d gives life to Adam, the first man. The Hands of G-d and Adam is a comforting visual, reminding us that the finger of G-d, Etzba Elokim is embedded in everything that happens to us, and to the world we live in.
