Blue is the color of the actualized dreams of five plus millennia of mothers toiling with their hands to weave our sacred objects as much as we weave the intricate details of Torah and its ways of life into the growth and development of nations to come.

Blue is the color of remembrance as we acknowledge all the struggles and torments alongside all the joy and levity that has come packaged with the resilience and strength of a people loyal and dedicated to service, service of Hashem, of community, of family, of each other, etc.
