Personal Supervision

Usually the Star of David is a Symbol for the Lords’ protection, but in Ofira Oriel‘s fresh new painting the inner space of the Star of David turns into an eye, which symbolizes HIS personal supervision. These days I’m absorbed in writing the Yellow Badge Album book (only in Hebrew) and I live under the impression that during the Holocaust the Star-of-David-shaped Yellow Badge was attached personally to every Jew, but in these horrible times, the Lord’s supervision ended in the end of the Yellow Badge bearer, and end is exactly the opposite of what we expect when we say “personal supervision”. Eventually the Holocaust led to the founding of the Jewish homeland and in the long run helped save the Jewish Nation.

P.S.

One may view the Star of David shape as seven eyes (one in the center and six arround) according to Zechariah 4:10 : “These seven are the eyes of the LORD, which range throughout the earth".

Hundred of My English Books Arrived Home

Three months after my publishing my Hebrew "Magen David Black and White" book I’m proud to announce the publishing of my Star of David Album in English. This will enable our brothers in the Diaspora who don’t read Hebrew to share with me the experience of intensively living in the last two years with our national emblem.

Arthur Szyk: Medallions of Honor

Szyk, Arthur. Huddled Jews
This image of the huddled Jews was produced for the exhibition "Arthur Szyk Illuminator" presented by the Wilshire Blvd. Temple in Los Angeles. The composite elements in the poster represent the fear and sorrow of displaced Jews wearing the yellow badge of shame overlaid with Szyk's badges and medallions of honor
