Synagogue Tent Ceiling

Ceiling in the shape of a Star of David covers the Synagogue-Tent in Moshe Genish's place in the Galilee, Israel. No doubt the quality of prayers in such a unique place must be different than in any conventional Synagogue. It reminds me of the theory that the Tabernacle's roof, that was built right after the Exodus, was in the shape of a Star of David.

Star of David Tree-1

Star of David is one of the many designs made by Aaron Nave in his exclusive Garden of designed trees in Kibbutz Revivim in Israel. Some people claim that they don't like the idea of man intervening in nature so bluntly, but for me this is another manifestation of the importance people attribute to our national emblem. BTW the tree feels great...

A closer look at the Star of David, which is one of the many designs made by Aaron Nave in his exclusive Garden of designed trees in Kibbutz Revivim in Israel.
