My English Book in the Printing Machine Tray

Today I went to the printing lab and took this photo of my English book in the printing machine Tray. This is a huge machine a few meters long and you see the front and the back cover pages. I'm very satisfied with the colors.

Voodoo doll

We see a six-pointed star in the right hand of a rope Voodoo doll intended to protect its owner. It seems that the six pointed star's meaning as a shield is shared by almost all known cultures.

Independence 40 Stamp Exhibition

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"

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.
