Neckwear Magen David

Star of David patchwork made from neckwear that I photographed in a house of a friend. I reckon there's no other work that looks exactly like it and from this aspect it is unique.

Sabbatical Year



The Logo of the fund for Shmitah (Year of Remission or Sabbatical Year) of money is in the shape of a Magen David made from palms. The six palms represent the six working years and the white hole in the center- the Sabbatical Year. When you stop holding something -  the palm of your hand is stretched – and this is the exact meaning of the Hebrew word Shmitah.

I am Lion of Zion

Two lions
Two peacocks
Two palm trees
and one SIX pointed star

So they fighting tribal war
And they saying iron like a lion in zion
