Four Stars of David

Four out of seven Stars of David on the Theodor Herzl Monument at the entrance to Herzlia, Israel
I like the palm leafs frame around Herzl - they look like rays of light...

Seven Stars of David

The translation of the Hebrew words on the road sign at the top right side of this photo is:"seven stars boulevard", and it alludes to Theodor Herzl's suggestion to put seven gold stars on the Jewish flag. These stars were meant to symbolize seven daily working hours in the altnoiland, the old new country, Israel. There's another sign above it which shows part of the name of another road- the Jewish country, which is the title of another book that Theodor Herzl wrote. Between the three and Four stars on the Monument there's a slogan: Herzlia - a legend of a city, which alludes to Theodor Herzl's famous proverb: If you have a will power it [founding the country] shouldn't be a legend...

Three Stars of David
