Kaszemacher Cubic

Photo is courtesy of Tzfat painter and photographer Yaacov Kaszemacher, who created a series of Star of David paintings, each revealing a new aspect of this compound symbol. Here we see a wooden cube, which is made mostly from a wooden Star of David, which encircles another blue Star of David.

They say of artists in general and of painters in particular that each work creates a world of its own with rules of its own - and in Kaszemacher’s Star of David series of paintings this saying is clearer than in many other instances: It is not only a painting - it is also an invention!

Kaszemacher, How Did They Get There

Photo is courtesy of Tzfat painter and photographer Yaacov Kaszemacher, who created a series of Star of David paintings, each revealing another unknown aspect of this mysterious symbol. Here we see a cubic wooden frame which holds six trianglular glass pieces which form a Star of David - but one must wonder how did they get there...

Wine or Beer Barrel

At first sight it looked to me like King David and his shield. Then I saw that the “shield” is a wine or beer barrel and the whole meaning changed. Then I read the words and understood that it is an old postcard of Hensel Berlin restaurant. Then I thought if it appears on Stephanie Comfort's Flickr pages it probably had been a Jewish restaurant, since she’s collecting Jewish pictorial history. Picture is courtesy of Stephanie Comfort

Jennifer wrote in the caption:

Whenever we'd see paper star lanterns we'd wish they'd make them with six points! At last -- six pointed star lanterns that will light up your Hanukkah party, Bar or Bat Mitzvah party, or sukah. Get bunches in white for a gorgeous outdoor wedding display.

Javier Lozano wrote to me

En Huesa del Comun hay solo esta estrella de David. Es previa a 1492.
Te envםo dos fotos. La primera muestra el estado actual. La segunda el estado original cuando se descubriף la puerta.
No sי cuando se descubriף la puerta pero lo preguntarי.
La gente cree que esta es la puerta de la sinagoga, pero no es seguro, en mi opinion.
