Bag Flag

An Israeli flag appears on a bag promoting the selling of dresses. I didn't see actually any doll walking in the street with this kind of gadget, but it seems that it won't be long till each Israeli patriot will have at least one of these bags (and then the Arabs will make bags with their own flags:)

Strong Nape Tattoo

Hayim Shtayer sent me this Nape Star of David Tattoo  picture along with another picture of a big sign with the words: Strong Home Front makes You Win the War. In Hebrew the same word (OREF) is used for Nape and for Home Front. The common denominator is pride, which seems to return to the heart of the Israelis as a result of the Gaza War consequences.

My new Theodore Herzl Group on Flickr

Recently, I got a few dozens well-selected images of Theodore Herzl from Graphic designer Hayim Shtayer who collects such images for many years, I thought it could be a magnetic center for many other Theodore Herzl enthusiasts, so I opened a group in Flickr dedicated to Theodore Herzl items -  see:

The above photo is an invitation (from Hayim Shtayer’s collection) to an Independence Party on 2003. Caption under the blue (what else?) Magen David is: Even Herzl didn’t believe.

Documentation of Graffiti Reactions to Rabin’s Murder

Hayim Shtayer went in November 1995 to Kikar Malchei Yisrael in Tel Aviv, the place where Yitzhak Rabin was murdered, and documented the spontaneous reactions of the Israeli public as they were written on the walls there. In the picture above we see a white Magen David below the caption: "you were born for peace".

The Testament of Solomon the Zodiac and the Hexagram



Stamp with zodiac on its body and Stars of David on its tab is courtesy of Hayim Shtayer and I thank him for telling me about the connection between these symbols as it appears on this peculiar stamp. The same connection is hinted in The Testament of Solomon, which deals with King Solomon’s controlling demons with his ring (Solomon’s Seal), which latter became the name of the pentagram and of the hexagram.

From: http://www.esotericarchives.com/solomon/testamen.htm

F. C. Conybeare Published his translation to the pseudepigraphical work titled The Testament of Solomon (dated 1-3 C.E.) in the Jewish Quarterly Review, October 1898. The zodiac appears in a few places there, i.e.,

Chapter 10. And Solomon said to him: "Tell me, O demon, to what zodiacal sign thou art subject." And he answered: "To the Water-pourer

Chapter 73: Then the first one came forward, and said: "I am the first decans of the zodiacal circle, and I am called the ram, and with me are these two."
