Lodz Cemetery , Poland

Well I just visited Jewish Cemetery in my hometown, Lodz. Unfortunately, there are no Jews living here today (my grandfather was a secular Jew) but before WW2 1/3 of Lodz's population was Jewish. The cemetery is considered to be the largest Jewish necropolis in Europe. 

It reminds me of the verse from Ecclesiastes 5:8

If you see the oppression of the poor, and the violent taking away of justice and righteousness in a district, don't marvel at the matter: for one official is eyed by a higher one; and there are officials over them.

Weathervane

Photo of a Star of David Weathervane is courtesy of Max Nathans from Kibbutz Matzuva in the north of Israel. It is an important shot since it illustrates that the six points of the Magen David symbolize God's rule in six directions: north, south, east, west, up and down".
