Among the works. which depict
the unique character of Israel is a
lithograph by one of its fore'most
painters, Naftali Besem. The black-
white-gold work features the lion
of Judah, denoting the Jewish peo-
ple. Below this. is the fish, oldest
living inhabitant of the earth and
signifying our people's age. Can-
dles represent religious signif-
icance. And above these are the
great cities built by the Jews for
"strangers."
Another painting, a water color
by David Gilboa, is a view of
Safed, where the artist lives and
paints. He is one of the colony's
