The Hebrew letters are from the Amidah (18 blessings):
We see an old bent Jew sitting in the barbed wire which stands for the Diaspora while an angel points at a Hebrew peasant cultivating the land of Israel.
The same illustration with the words the fifth congress of Zionists in Bazel is maybe the most famous illustration Lilien ever made.
