The tree stretches across two sides of the B building at SDJA. Completely hand made, the leaves sparkle in the sunshine. If you look closely, you will find cocoons hanging and caterpillars walking. Butterflies signifying the more than 1.5 million children lost in the Holocaust fly away. ( check out the web page for theButterfly project at SDJA http://www.sdja.com/pages/sdja_family/butterfly.pdf )Embedded at the base of the tree trunk are paper clips from the Paper Clip project in Whitwell, TN.

"G-d give me wings so that I may look around from the tallest branches seeing all that surrounds me"... from the poem by Lynn Goldfarb
