This is my second piece with the phrase starting "Lo Alecha". This text loosely translates as "It is not for you to complete the work [of repairing the world]. Not up to you to finish it. But neither are you free to desist from it." This phrase comes from Pirkei Avot (Ethics of the Fathers), which is part of the Mishna, the Jewish oral law.

A small version is attached. See the full piece here:
