Ridges to the Horizon
Haifa designer Hayim Shtayer shot this Magen David photo of a JNF sticker, and the sticker is part of his collection. The sticker was issued to celebrate 30 years of Israeli Independence. I liked the top triangle with the ridges to the horizon – very original!

Let My People Go
This time a Government with Shinuy
Haifa designer Hayim Shtayer shot this photo of pale green Stars of David inside the Hebrew letter Shin on an election sticker with the words: “This time a Government with Shinuy”. The sticker is part of his collection. Election times are prone to excessive usage of our national emblem, as well as Independence Day, and it is pushed to every groove, even if it is not a must.
