The weeping willow symbolizes the tree of life. The city symbolizes Israel. The sea represents the Dead Sea, a popular landmark in Israel. The dove with the olive branch symbolizes peace. The flags symbolize the connection with America and Israel and unity. The mountains symbolize the landscape of Israel and the stars symbolize Judaism. The values that Israel represents today is peace, life, and unity. Peace is represented by the dove with the olive branch. Life is represented by the weeping willow, which represents the tree of life. Finally, unity is represented in our poster by the Israeli and American flags. Our poster conveys the message that Israel and America stand together. This is symbolized by the flags and dove. It means that they are both in peace with each other. We were inspired by the Yom Ha’atzmaut Poster by M. Aryeh. This gave is the inspiration to include the flags, the landscape, and the Hebrew spelling of Yom Ha’atzmaut.
