Painting of Rabbi Rene Thomas standing at the bimah (pulpit). He is wearing a talit (prayer shawl) and a kippah (skullcap). He is standing before an open Torah scroll holding a yad (ritual pointer), to follow the text in the Torah reading.
Painting includes a poem, Prayer for Our Sister Haiti by Patricia Glinton-Meicholas. The text is surrounded by a blue border. There is a face in the background with a hand with a butterfly and the other hand with a shell and a cross.
