Lined illustrations mark existing unseen objects in architecture - that's how artist Sabina Saad interprets current Anti Semitism in Italy (on the Italian colors of the flag). Anti Israeli demonstrations are frequent in Italy, and they are with anti-Semitic slogans.

Thanks to Dr. Batya Brutin who told me about this painting and helped me get it. The image of Anne Frank is one of the images that represent the Holocaust. Other images are the Yellow Badge, the Mark of Cain, the number 6,000,000, barbed wires (and a few more). Here we see a rare appearance of two of these images: Anne Frank AND the Yellow Badge.

Later Stephanie explained that a local Dallas artist did the work. She assumed that it’s really for hanging earrings from.
The Burrows Cave collection represent group of more than three thousand artifacts allegedly discovered by Mr. Russell Burrows at a cave in an undisclosed location in Illinois. The Egyptian and eastern Mediterranean motifs found in artifacts from Burrows Cave has led to considerable speculation and controversy. Cuneiform, Etruscan, Phoenician, Egyptian, and other characters are found on Burrows Cave. If valid, the implications of the Burrows Cave would be astounding.
Judah - in the context of a Semitic head and a מגן דוד MOGEN DAVID, Shield of David…I have translated above four characters which I think should be read “Judah.”

Israelis and Jews are still marked as targets by their enemies as if they still have a Yellow Badge. That's why Israelis and Jews have to hide those signs of belonging (language, Yarmulke etc) while they are among non-Jews.

Israeli State (Menorah) emblem appears alongside a Star of David symbol on an iron barrier at Gaza St., Jerusalem, near the Israeli Prime Minister's House. I’m quite proud of this shot because the sun was too intense and I waited for a bus to cast some shadow on the barrier.

Judenstern is a homonym. It is the German name of the Yellow Badge and, at the same time, the name of German Shabbat lamps, which were designed in the shape of a six-pointed star.
It is most interesting to note that it precedes researcher Uri Ofir’s theory about the connection between the Star of David and the Tabernacle Menorah, which is also a kind of a lamp.

Photo of the Hebrew letter Vav inside a Star of David painted on an old tile is courtesy of Mr. Abraham Madeisker from Trionfo Judaica Store, 9 Dorot Rishonim St.,Jerusalem.
Vav is the third letter of the Divine Name. It has many meanings, i.e. it is a hook that connects the opposites (like the interlaced triangles of the Star of David). Its numerical value is six (like the six triangles built around the hexagon in the Star of David).

Yud is the first letter of the Divine Name.

With the revival of Jewish life in Jerusalem on early 20th Century and the popularity of Arts and Crafts movement, an art school was established in Jerusalem under the name Bezalel. Bezalel is the Biblical name of the Devine “Artist” who executed the design of the Ark and the sanctuary built by Israelites, following the Egyptian exodus. Between the years of 1906 and 1931 many rugs were made in this school with mostly Jewish motifs and Art Nouveau styles. This workshop was called “Marvadiah” (Marvad in Hebrew means carpet) and many of these rugs are inscribed either Bezalel or Marvadiah. Since the practice of carpet weaving started there under the Ottoman Empire, the construction and the color pallet of these rugs resembles many Anatolian rugs of the period.
Israeli painter Sabina Saad ripped a hole in the cloth of the drawing. The hole that is ripped is in the form of yellow patch. It expresses the sorrow on loss of the six of millions Jews during the holocaust. According to Jewish custom mourners tear their outer garment. Every Jew, who was present while another Jew died, must tear his shirt from the front near to the neck.
Celebrating Israel @ 60, 3-4 year old kids at Netivot Hatorah kindergarten in Toronto, Canada, drew on Star of David shaped papers the seven days of Genesis. They were inspired by the seven paintings series of Israeli painter Dick Ben Dor. Started the project their teacher, Mindy Klein, who found photos of Ben Dor’s Genesis series on the Internet and brought them to the children.

Mindy Klein, a preschool teacher of 3-4 year olds at Netivot Hatorah Day School in Toronto, Canada spent numerous hours on the Internet researching Israeli artists and was instantly struck by the Genesis Series paintings of Israeli artist Dick Ben Dor, depicting the seven days of creation on star of David frames. She brought samples of a few selected artists for the children and they unanimously chose to focus on the artwork of Dick Ben Dor. The children were very enthusiastic about their creations influenced by Dick Ben Dor’s series and eventually there was an exhibition of these works on Yom Yerushalayim. Mindy Klein sent me this extremely cute photo .
