Acrylic on canvas

Cutting part of the canvas in the shape of the yellow badge, so that it alludes to the Jewish victims during the Holocaust.

The work is one of a series.

Sabina Saad says that Jews always regarded themselves as part of the regime under which they lived, and were meaningful contributors to those places – so that their disappearing in WWII left a hole (symbolically) in the flag of each country.

In Libya 5000 Jews were locked in concentration camps and 500 of them died from dysentery. 160 Jews were transferred to Bergen-Belsen.

Sparkler Fireworks

Dan Feldman sent me this six-pointed star shaped fireworks, and I plan to light it on my birthday (then We’ll have another photo of it in action and maybe a video film).

Thanks, Dan.

Zvi Malnovitzer

[Zvi Malnovitzer was] raised and educated in a Hasidic community in Bnai Brak, Israel and while learning at the Ponevezh Yeshiva he somehow found the time and energy to learn to draw.

In his work titled Hasidic Huppah, which was created after 2000, oil on wood

The overall space soars upward to contain the red huppah that shelters the celebrants; effectively floating over them is the barely visible Magen David.

I am very proud to present here a picture of a tiny six-pointed star on an ancient (probably Early Muslim) glass jar courtesy of Shlomo Moussaieff, collector of Biblical archaeology items.
