My poster centers around the Star of David and a Hebrew blessing that honors God’s eternal kingship, surrounded by plants and flowers native to the Land of Israel. The natural elements reflect the beauty and richness of the land, connecting to both Biblical tradition and the present. Each plant represents the diversity and life that grow in Israel. The blessing in Hebrew adds spiritual meaning, expressing gratitude and holiness. Israel represents the value of continuity-spiritual, historical, and natural. My poster highlights the connection between ancient blessings and the present-day land, showing that Jewish faith and nature remain deeply rooted in Israel. Through beauty, life, and tradition, Israel embodies resilience and sacredness. These values are meaningful not just in the past, but in our lives today. My poster is a celebration of the spiritual and natural beauty of Israel. It reminds us that Israel is more than a place - it is a blessing and a symbol of life, faith, and continuity. I was inspired by illuminated Hebrew manuscripts.
