Exceeding Good Land
A detail from a happy New Year card sent decades ago by Moshe Bar Yuda to his friend. Caption is from the Bible: If I forget Thee. In the center of the Magen David a line from the national anthem and the Israeli map.
From Hayim Shtayer’s collection.
Vandalism?
Manya Schochat park, Carmel center, Haifa, in February 2008. My first reaction was: Vandalism, but later I assumed it may be a legitimate protest: why are the municipalities wasting money on luxuries while people are suffering hunger and injustice?

Anglican Graves
This rare Photo is courtesy of Webrarian who wrote to me:
I was in Wales over the weekend and spotted three graves, which had both Stars of David and the IHS symbol - one at each end. The three graves were for members of the same family - the Spencers. They were farmers, brewers and innkeepers.
IHS stands for: Iesus Hominum Salvator.
As far as I can recall, this is the first Anglican six-pointed star that I stumbled upon. These first appearances are the highlights of this blog and its justification...
