Taped on the back is a letter from Bialik Hebrew Day School, date May 23, 1995. The 72 trees planted in the Holy Land are a multiplication of 18 times 4. The number 18 is, in the Jewish tradition, equal to Hebrew word for LIFE. The multiplication of 4 was for the children who died, the adults who perished, the security forces and volunteers and the citizens of Oklahoma City. |
