Photo of Star of David on a Hanukkah Candlestick behind a portrait of an old man is courtesy of Israeli painter Meir Salomon, who spent 35 years in Holland. Salomon includes often Judaica in his paintings, and I already published a few of his Stars of David, which always appear in a surprising context.

On the left we see a Star of David made from curved carving-like lines.
The Hebrew words are from the Priestly Blessing, a Jewish prayer based on the verse from Numbers 6:23-27: "They shall place My name upon the children of Israel, and I Myself shall bless them."
