The major element in my picture are a Magen David, the Torah, a dove, the world, a hamsa, and Hebrew writing. I wanted to include the words כח, חזק, hope, יחד, חי, Hashem is one, and העם היהודי מאוחד כאחד. Israel is a Jewish country. Hashem gave us this land and that's why it is so special to us. It is our holy land and we love Hashem. Israel is a safe place for us and we love it so much. The message that I am trying to convey is to be proud of being a Jew. Do not hide it. You are the best and you can do anything!
The primary source that inspired me is a drawing by Mari-Ester Nisenboim because it has doves and I wanted to include doves. It shows Israel and I have things and words related to Israel.
