Artist Channa Horwitz was born in Los Angeles, 1932. She lives in Santa Monica, California, USA.
Channa wrote to me:

This sculpture was created as a proposal for a Temple. I call it Star of David, Prayer Vessel. In the back of the Star of David is an empty large container completely enclosed with a small hole in the side. I envisioned this sculpture 6' tall and placed in the lobby of a Synagogue. I also envisioned people writing out small prayers and placing them into the small hole on the side of the sculpture. I envisioned these prayers disintegrating over time and generations of prayers placed on top, so that many generations of prayers would commingle and turn to dust.

The Hope (Hatikva) In Japanese Software

The Star of David appears frequently alongside the Israeli flag and national anthem and together they form a triad. Here’s a bizarre performance by Hatsune Miku of The Hope (Hatikva) in Hebrew and then in Japanese. Towards the end of the clip you’ll see a Star of David with Japanese words.
Miku Hatsune is a Yamaha software which allows you to edit songs simulating the voice of vocalist Saki Fujita.
