Cover art.
Matisyahu invited fans to submit artwork for a contest to determine the album's cover. A design by Jimmy Ovadia was chosen by Matisyahu, who said: "It’s not the exact idea I had but it gets at the core of the new album Akeda. A man standing vulnerable and alone against the cosmic night, holding his heart up to God and God doing the same to man, holding his heart, this burning world in his hands and offering it to us. Together walking bringing the sacrifice, making space for each other. Listening and calling out."
