Enriching The Experience of Buying

A few days ago a new commercial website joined the WWW. It sells Star of David Jewelry.
I let the owner of this commercial website to draw my postings by RSS Feeds in order to enable buyers to taste a bit of art and research while they rest from buying - it opens the road to put signs with poetry in the Malls...

P.S.
Lately the site appeared so I leave this posting as a reminder of an adventure that failed.

Lilien, Music

Star of David music art Gideon From a stamps-collector's-Forum called Collect brought me Ephrayim Moshe Lilien's book Lieder Des Ghetto. We see Stars of David in the skies with angels playing music.
Lieder des ghetto in German translates into Songs of the Ghetto. The book was accompanied by poems by East European Jew named Morris Rosenfeld, who had socialist ideals similar to those of Lilien.

Lilien, Boats

Star of David hovers over a page from Ephrayim Moshe Lilien's book Lieder Des Ghetto [Songs of the Ghetto]. The book is from 1902 and it looks old, as you can see in the photo...At the bottom of the page we see candles designed in the shape of boats.
The book was accompanied by poems by East European Jew named Morris Rosenfeld, who had socialist ideals similar to those of Lilien.
Gideon From a stamps-collector's-Forum called Collect brought me the book and I thank him for that.

Kid Surrounded by a Heart and Stars

Star of David art Gideon From a stamps-collector's-Forum called Collect brought me Ephrayim Moshe Lilien's book Lieder Des Ghetto. The book is from 1902 and it looks old, as you can see in the photo. I'm very proud of this photo because it seems that I caught the right morning light. We see a kid surrounded by a heart and stars; some of them are in the shape of a Star of David.
Lieder des ghetto in German translates into Songs of the Ghetto. The book was accompanied by poems by East European Jew named Morris Rosenfeld, who had socialist ideals similar to those of Lilien.

Kinga

bottle-israeli art-jewish-starStar of David on a colored bottle made by my old friend Dvorit Ben Shaul. These bottles are so unique that they are recognized as hers even without her signature. I reckon artists sign their works because otherwise nobody will know who made them. I called this figure Kinga because she arrived with two other colored bottles bearing the figure of King David.
