Hanukkah Candlestick and Portrait

Hanukkah Candlestick jewish star israeli art

Photo of Star of David on a Hanukkah Candlestick behind a portrait of an old man is courtesy of Israeli painter Meir Salomon, who spent 35 years in Holland. Salomon includes often Judaica in his paintings, and I already published a few of his Stars of David, which always appear in a surprising context.

Priestly Blessing

On the left we see a Star of David made from curved carving-like lines.
The Hebrew words are from the Priestly Blessing, a Jewish prayer based on the verse from Numbers 6:23-27: "They shall place My name upon the children of Israel, and I Myself shall bless them."
Photo is courtesy of Israeli painter Meir Salomon, who frequently introduces six-pointed Jewish emblems into his works of art.

Photo of a a painting with scales (bottom left) in the shape of David Stars is courtesy of Israeli painter Meir Salomon. This is the only instance of this image that I know of, and this fact reveals this artist’s creativity.
