Provocative Logo

The Logo of the Temple Mount Movement shows the Temple Mount without the Mosques, and the Hebrew words (see bold letters), which are taken from the Book of Numbers 13:30 call for action:

Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses and said, "We should by all means go up and take possession of it, for we will surely overcome it."

The message of the logo along with the caption provokes to remove the Mosques from the Temple Mount.

The Star of David shape of the Temple Mount appeared already in E.M. Lilien’s Ex Libris made for Prof. Martin Buber, only there the Mosques appear prominently.

The Heart of the Nation

The Hebrew words on the sticker says: "the heart boulevards of the nation". Even though I try to skip Israeli flag photos, since they show an independent symbol, I decided to include this one because it combines three symbols: the flag, the Star of David, and the heart. The complete message is: patriotism, love of one’s country.

Front of Red Magen David Building, Ashdod, Israel

Usually I don’t publish photos of Red Magen David, since I focus on the Star of David and the Red Version is a separate symbol, but this time I couldn’t stop myself because the design is so special. In this case not only the Star of David is red – the whole building is RED. It might influence other architects to design Blue Buildings to fit the color of our national emblem.

60th Independence Year Flag

On the road from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv are scattered dozens of Israeli 60 Independence Year Flags, starting at the exit from Jerusalem and ending at Shaar Hagay. Each flag is an ambassador of our national emblem, the magen David.

This is one of the about 30 works in different sizes, which were exhibited around Europe in 1977-1978, under the title “religious art”. We see in it a tree, which looks like a prophet, holding in its arms an incomplete Magen David, which hints to the broken tables of the covenant. In the background we see a calf head- hinting to the Golden Calf.

This is one of the about 30 works in different sizes, which were exhibited around Europe in 1977-1978, under the title “religious art”. We see in it a tree holding broken triangles, which reminds us of the broken tables of the covenant and of a broken Magen David. The tree reminds us of the Tree of Life.
