depicting an aspect of the week’s Torah portion.

וַיִּתְיַצְּבוּ בְּתַחְתִּית הָהָר וְהַר סִינַי עָשַׁן כֻּלּוֹ

The people are standing at the foot of the mountain and the word “smoke–עשן” appears above them. Each of the letters in this word, Ayin, Shin, and Nun, take three decorative crowns in Torah script. You can see the crowns here as billowing fire!
