Comment
The Burning Bush is one of the most important events described in the Bible and in the history of Jewish People. Moses was transformed from a shepherd of the flocks into the shepherd of the nation. G-d speaks to Moses from within the bush and sends him to Pharaoh to demand the release of the Israelites from slavery and lead them out of Egypt: "Let my People Go".According to the Jewish Sages, the Burning Bush symbolizes the prophecy that, "just as the bush was burned by fire but not consumed, so shall the adversaries of Israel throughout the generations fail to prevail over the Jewish People." The Burning Bush continues to symbolize the eternity of the Jewish People, who despite the hardships and suffering endured for 2000 years, lives on.
Interesting fact
The Burning Bush coin's design features a depiction of the burning bush, a symbol of the Jewish people's connection to God, as described in the book of Exodus. The bush is surrounded by a circle of flames, and the coin's rim is inscribed with the phrase "I am that I am," a translation of the Hebrew phrase "Anochi Anochi," which is a name for God used in Jewish tradition.
