In response to popular demand (well, one comment from Talmida), I’ve uploaded larger, non-animated images of the front, inside and back of the invitations.
The graphics are all taken from “carpet pages” from 14th century illuminated Biblical manuscripts. The quotation on the inside is from the Babylonian Talmud, Hhullin 89a:
Rabbi Meir said, “Why is Tekhelet different from all other colours? Because Tekhelet is like the sea, and the sea is like the sky, and the sky is like sapphire, and sapphire is like [God’s] Glorious Throne.”
More will be heard of this theme in my דבר תורה at the Bar Mitzvah.
