Zvi Malnovitzer

[Zvi Malnovitzer was] raised and educated in a Hasidic community in Bnai Brak, Israel and while learning at the Ponevezh Yeshiva he somehow found the time and energy to learn to draw.

In his work titled Hasidic Huppah, which was created after 2000, oil on wood

The overall space soars upward to contain the red huppah that shelters the celebrants; effectively floating over them is the barely visible Magen David.

Water Sound Images

Christopher D. Horn found a video on YouTube: Water Sound Images, which includes what looks like a star of David created from a water droplet on a pan that is vibrated at varying frequencies.

I imagine that this video shows what happens when H is trying to (2) warn O that they are vibrated on a pan:)


The National Committee for the Jewish Soldier

Picture of a Star of David on a poster of The National Committee for the Jewish Soldier is courtesy of Dobush from Kfar Aza, Israel. The National Committee for the Jewish Soldier was founded in the 1930th and operated until the end of WWII.
