Digitally Processed Photography

We see here Stars of David on a photo of Herzl in the first Zionist congress with a Digitally Processed portrait of Arafat. Caption is a quote from Herzl’s saying: “the Jews who want a state will achieve it”. The idea is to show that Israelis need to show determination if they don’t want to lose their land.

Therapeutic Effect

I already heard from a few people that the Star of David has a Therapeutic Effect, but this is the first time I write about it. 

From David J. Bookbinder’s blog:

My choice of the hexagram (the Star of David, "beloved" in Hebrew) as the organizing shape for these mandalas was subconscious, but I believe this choice was no accident. In many traditions, the Star of David, composed of two overlapping triangles, represents the reconciliation of opposites — male/female, fire/water, and so on. Their combination symbolizes unity and harmony. Listening to what the mandalas were telling me led me out of a dark place and, indirectly, to my decision to become a psychotherapist.

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.
