Hebrew text printed at the bottom left with "avrum Rubenstein" at the bottom right.

Poster has black ink printed on white paper with a stylized image of a man wrapped in a robe with a beard wagging his index finger at a young boy in a robe. Text reads "when he was learning to read, his teacher / showed him two rectangular dots & said: see, Urele, / this is the monogram of God''s name. when you see them / you must say the name of God. / soon he came to a colon & he spoke: the name of God. / the teacher said: no, no, Urele, that is not the monogram / of God''s name. only where they are standing as equals, / side by side, only there is the / name of God. / where one is below & the / other is raised above his fellow, / there the word of God is not!" Between the two figures at the bottom of the poster is Hebrew text.
