Arab Stars of David

When I lived in Gilo Neighborhood (South Jerusalem) I was told that this was the building of a Jordanian judge. Anyway, it's clear that this building  was under Jordanian control until 1967 and Jews were not living there at that time.

The building is located on Hebron Road between Mar Elias Monastery and Gilo

Magen David on a Toyota

Here’s a story: Zako steadily contributes pictures to this blog. He walks about in Jerusalem and photographs Magen Davids. Just now he sent to me this picture of a Magen David on a Toyota. What’s interesting is that I photographed the same car about a month ago, but my photograph was taken in the night with flash whereas his photograph was taken during the day. In my photograph we see the number of the car whereas in his photograph a black patch hides it. Since this car is unique, and parks regularly near my house- I knew where exactly was Zako when he shot it and I didn’t need his explanation.

Synagogue Ceiling From Damascus

Large Star of David appears in the center of an endless Star-of-David-pattern at the ceiling of Beit Shalom, 20 Ahad Ha'am St., Jerusalem, Israel. Lawyer Shalom Horowitz has brought this decoration many years ago from a Synagogue in Damascus. Picture is courtesy of Mr. Isaac Faingold.
