My Most Impressive Stars of David

Israeli artist Iris Yehezkel asked me what are the Most Impressive Stars of David that I saw during the last two years of uploading photos of these symbols to my blog:

I thought the answer might interest a few more people- so here is my Youtube Video presentation.

Turkish Bath, "Hamam"

ventilation holes in the shape of a Star of David
Israeli painter Iris Yehazkel sent me this photo which she took in Turkey while she visited there recently with her parents who were born in Turkey. We see a local Turkish Bath, "Hamam" built by a Jew in Tiera with a few ventilation holes in the shape of a Star of David.
