Eve of Redemption

Photo is courtesy of my favorite graphic artist nzdzeni who published it on Flickr and owns the Copyrights. nzdzeni added the folowing caption:

"This one was requested / inspired by Zeev [That’s me, zeevveez].
The shape of the Star of David alludes to the seventh day, the day of rest and *ultimately* redemption. The pictures in each part of the clock depict one day of creation according to the Genesis account".

According to my calculations (correct me if I'm wrong) we are presently at 17:47 in the afternoon on Friday. Shabbat begins Friday evening which was last Friday on 18:59 in Jerusalem, 19:21 in Telaviv and 19:13 in Haifa.
Since Balaam's prophecy the Star of David was always connected to Messianic expectations.

Uri Zvi Greenberg

Picture of Star of David walls around Jerusalem is courtesy of illustrator and artist Sabina Saad who made it as an illustration for Uri Zvi Greenberg’s poem:

tonight they are shooting at your gates, Jerusalem.

Sabina told me that she was influenced by the word “shield “ which appears a few times in this poem. I showed her E.M. Lilien's ex-libris for philosopher Martin Buber which used the same idea a few decades before her; she was satisfied to hear about this connection to the first zionist painter.

Chavat Hanoar Hazioni in Jerusalem

Picture of Star of David in the stained glass window of the dining room in Chavat Hanoar Hazioni school in Jerusalem is courtesy of artist Ronen Kimel. This Star of David is actually the logo of this school, which was founded in 1949 and focused on teaching young Holocaust survivers. Now it is focused on teaching young new immigrants.

Ofer Rubin Candles Device

Photo of Star of David candles with mirrors is courtesy of Rosh Pina artist Ofer Rubin who sold many such devices, only smaller, in the last years. Ofer prepared this big device especially for the Magen David exhibition at Tasha Gallery in Tel Aviv. It is a combination of light with Magen David, similar to the combination of the Magen David with the Tabernacle Menorah, according to Uri Ofir's theory.
