IT’S A BIG WORLD - IT MUST BE TU B’SHVAT SOMEWHERE, PT 3 Continuing with our tree-birthday fortnight, imagine yourself sauntering down this date grove in Rishon Le-Zion, one of the earliest Zionist agricultural settlements in the land of Israel.  If you’re lucky, the warm wispy wind might carry the sweet smell of ripening dates.  Yum!

IT’S A BIG WORLD - IT MUST BE TU B’SHVAT SOMEWHERE, PT 2 Ah, moonshine in Jericho shimmering off the trees.  Not THAT moonshine you know! Today we know Jericho as a bustling Palestinian metropolis near the banks of the Dead Sea. But the name also rings out as uber-historical, appearing in the bible and in countless other stories.  But this region also possesses a mystical quality that seems to radiate intensely at night.  This image of a moonlit building in Jericho from 1918 hints at that quality.  The building looks at once solid and familiar but also otherworldly. Indeed, the trees almost appear as apparitions emanating toward heaven. Moonshine in Jericho Publisher: J. Benor-Kalter Jerusalem, early 20th century Collection of Yeshiva University Museum, ACC# 2001.115

REUVEN RUBIN’S EARLY TEL AVIV REVIEW This picture depicts Tel Aviv just a few years—seemingly moments—after its founding in the early 20th century.  One of the founders of the Jerusalem school of primitivistic painting, Rubin depicted “the East” as a young, vibrant, and even naive place—in contrast to the cold, gray Europe. Rubin initially came to Palestine in 1912 to study at the Bezalel school.  He moved permanently to Eretz Israeli in 1934 after studying art in Paris and Berlin.  From 1948 - 1952 he was Israel’s plenipotentiary to Romania and in 1952 represented Israel at the Venice Bienniale.   Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Sid Feinberg Thanks 16thstreet!

SQUIGGLES EVERYWHERE! - FROM THE MAX STERN COLLECTION, PART 5 This squiggly image is part of a silver spice box in YU Museum’s dazzling Max Stern Collection of Judaica. Spice boxes are a typical and often decorated form of Judaica sculpture. They are used during Hazdalah, the ceremony that marks the end of the Sabbath, and the fragrant spices in the box help to rouse our souls as we transition into what Elvis Costello referred to as the “Working Week.”
