Accompanying Symbols

Lions frequently appear alongside the Star of David in Jewish, Christian, Pagan and in Ethiopian context, but I don’t remember seeing it in a Moslem or in a Buddhist context. Accompanying symbols may help decide to what religion a certain artifact belongs.

- Bacchus Temple frieze in Baal beck, Lebanon, is decorated with lions and bulls.

- Arthur Szyk created the Jewish Daily News emblem showing a Star of David with lion along with the Tables of the Covenant.

- David Ben Guryon suggested that the symbol of the Israeli state would be two lions holding the Tables of the covenant, just like here.

- The lions are seen as serving the King of all Kings.

- Both the tribes of Dan and Judah are compared to lions.

- Dalia Manor wrote that the aspirations of the founders of Bezalel School of art were to create "the original Hebrew style" and for that purpose they used recurrent Jewish symbols such as the Menorah, the Star of David, the Tablets of the Law, the Ark of the Covenant and lions.

- Tobias Foa, in 1556, printed a book with woodcut printer’s mark containing two rampant lions flanking a palm tree in whose center there is a Star of David.

President Rosenberg by anti-Semites.

P.S.

I got an interesting letter from Stephanie and she let me quote it here:

This last May was my 28th trip to Israel. I have only missed one year since '77 .... I was in Eilat when Sadat came. I used to work with the late Yigael Shiloh at the City of David Dig from '81 thru '84 and then at Tel Dora with Prof. Efraim Stern for 4 yrs. while studying in the Summers with Prof. Jim Fleming of Hebrew U. I, also, used to lead tours (as a volunteer for the Zionist Org. of America) to Israel for several Summers. This May I'm bringing 15 or 16 friends with us for your 60th - arriving on the 14th of May. My first Israeli postcards were purchased about 20 yrs. ago in a box of 100 from the Museum of the Diaspora. At about the same time the Museum had a show of photos of the Jews of Kaifeng, China which began my interest in Jews from all over the World. My first stereoviews were purchased about 15 yrs. ago in Tel Aviv in a used book store on Allenby (I now have over 9,000 with sets of Palestine/Israel) - my neighborhood there was around the new Opera House building.
