Photo of the Memorial for the Jewish Fighters against the Nazi enemy that I took a few weeks ago in Remez Neighbourhood, public garden, Haifa, Israel.
Sculptor: Gershon Knispel.
Construction finished in 1991.
It looks like metal, but, surprisingly, it feels like concrete.

This David’s Shield Lampshade was made by Dr. Asher Eder with his own hands. In the 1970’s it used to light the room of Mishkan Noam, Spiritual Center in the Galilee.

Acrylic on canvas
Cutting part of the canvas in the shape of the yellow badge, so that it alludes to the Jewish victims during the Holocaust.
The work is one of a series.
Sabina Saad says that Jews always regarded themselves as part of the regime under which they lived, and were meaningful contributors to those places – so that their disappearing in WWII left a hole (symbolically) in the flag of each country.
In Libya 5000 Jews were locked in concentration camps and 500 of them died from dysentery. 160 Jews were transferred to Bergen-Belsen.
Dan Feldman sent me this six-pointed star shaped fireworks, and I plan to light it on my birthday (then We’ll have another photo of it in action and maybe a video film).
Thanks, Dan.
