Wine or Beer Barrel

At first sight it looked to me like King David and his shield. Then I saw that the “shield” is a wine or beer barrel and the whole meaning changed. Then I read the words and understood that it is an old postcard of Hensel Berlin restaurant. Then I thought if it appears on Stephanie Comfort's Flickr pages it probably had been a Jewish restaurant, since she’s collecting Jewish pictorial history. Picture is courtesy of Stephanie Comfort

Jennifer wrote in the caption:

Whenever we'd see paper star lanterns we'd wish they'd make them with six points! At last -- six pointed star lanterns that will light up your Hanukkah party, Bar or Bat Mitzvah party, or sukah. Get bunches in white for a gorgeous outdoor wedding display.

En Huesa del Comun hay solo esta estrella de David. Es previa a 1492.
Te envםo dos fotos. La primera muestra el estado actual. La segunda el estado original cuando se descubriף la puerta.
No sי cuando se descubriף la puerta pero lo preguntarי.
La gente cree que esta es la puerta de la sinagoga, pero no es seguro, en mi opinion.

In Huesa del Comun there is only this (1) Star of David. It's previous 1492
I send you two photos: The first show the actual condition of the door. The second is the original condition when the door was discovered. I don't know when the door was discovered but I will ask. The people think this is the door of a synagogue, but it's not sure, in my opinion.

In 1492 King Ferdinand and Queen Isabel expelled the Jewish population of Spain, permitting only those who agreed to become Catholic to stay.

Colmar, France

Photo of a Star of David on the sign of a restaurant is courtesy of "Navas" From Flickr
I cut most of it in Photoshop in order to make the star visible. The photo was taken at Colmar in Alsace, France. Colmar had a Jewish community in medieval times and again after 1800 and has one today.

Flag of Equality

What do you think about my new sticker?
It is meant to show that the Israeli flag contains the sign of equality and heralds the future equality between the opposing parts of the Israeli society.

The Star of David symbolizes the unification of the opposites: up and down, left and right etc. The stripes on the flag look like the algebraic sign of equality.

I thought about this sticker after I read about the logo competition For I’srael’s 60th Independence Day…
