In the forefront of the city, contained within the golden bricks of the buildings, a large English “shalom” may be found. A second large “shalom” (also in gold) is located in the sidewalk just beneath the buildings. Other representations of the word "peace" (in English, “peace” and “shalom,” or in the Hebrew, ) may be found hidden in multitudes of places within the picture: in the birds in the sunset over the city, in the trees on either side of the drawing, in the walls surrounding and within the city, and in the plants, grass, people, and animals throughout the composition.
Representations of the ritual objects and traditional accompaniments to Judaism that help compose the city are: the Torah Scrolls, the tablets of the Ten Commandments, a mezuzah, menorah, tefillin, kiddush (wine) cup, Shabbat candles, havdalah candle and spice box, a shofar (ram’s horn), and the Hebrew word for chai (life).
Throughout the composition, many people are seen joined together, celebrating the unity and harmony of all life at this time of peace.
