This piece centers on Exodus 2:1-10, where Mosheh’s (Moses) origin story from Torato "births" Mosha’s origin story from Toratah. In both Toratah and Torato, the verb ילד (to birth) is used interchangeably for both women and men. Both names share the meaning "to draw out of the water."

The exterior circle features bilingual text (English JPS 1985) from Torato. The red circle presents the Toratah story in Hebrew, while the black circle showcases the original Toratah translation created by Yael and Tamar Biala, with additional input from the Beit Toratah editing team.

This piece speaks to the broader process of creating Toratah: Toratah emerges from Torato. The infant girl, Mosha, embodies untapped potential awaiting nurturing. In verse 3, “וַיָּשֶׂם בַּסּוּף עַל־שְׂפַת הַתְּאֹר” (“and [he] laid it among the reeds by the bank of the Teor”), this Hebrew verse can be interpreted poetically: "And he laid it (the ark with Mosha in it) at the end by the language of future light."
