Dear Americans, I am afraid. We in Israel also have our fair share of religious fanatics who are full of hate, fueled by ignorance. I am afraid they will be inspired by the horrific decision of your supreme court. Israel has always looked up to the United States - the land of the free, but taking away bodily autonomy from more than half of your population is a disgrace and a crime against liberty and freedom. Evil people do not care about lives or logic or God. They only care about power and controlling others. They only want to use, hurt, and oppress anyone who is different. Some of them idealize the concept of a woman who suffers and dies for others, sacrificing her body and mind for a child. It is not sick or stupid. It is pure evil. They act deliberately and with a clear mind. And I know for sure that if there was a God who cared even a little bit about what us humans are doing on Earth, these evil people would be suffering from leprosy by now. And they'd beg for affordable health care. . . My best teachers told me that art is a very powerful tool. I am naive enough to believe them. Although as an individual from far away there is very little I can actually do in this matter, I hope this composition will move others and inspire them to create and deliver visual messages that might have some influence and together we will turn this one around.

Oil painting on canvas 70x90 cm . I grew up knowing that hard work, preferably hard manual labor is a high virtue. One should not take too much care of clothing, or appearance in general, and it is better to focus on morals and behavior and of course hard working - in agriculture, construction, mechanic...ect. A blue shirt in Israel is a symbol and the only uniform of all socialist youth movements. The title of this painting is a line from a song sang through out the years up until this day. . I find it funny to take this symbol and use it for a painting. An object of high value, that is main function resembles a unique jewel. 😁

Kubaneh Hebrew: כֻּבַּאנֶה‎) is a traditional Yemenite Jewish bread that is popular in Israel similar to monkey bread. Kubaneh is traditionally baked overnight to be served for Shabbat morning accompanied by haminados (eggs that are baked in their shells along with the bread), and resek avganiyot (grated tomato). . My mom makes Kubaneh every Saturday for a the past 40 years. The pond in the foreground is from my fathers garden, the landscape is Ella valley, seen from my parents house kitchen window.
