2. Anat Levi I am a young Israeli,born in Haifa-KiryatHayim- Israel. I went to high school and later served in the Israeli Defense Force as an officer, and later I took several Management, Administration and Accounting courses. 6 years ago I decided to be closer to Jewish religion and traditions, and since then I have a better and qualified life. From childhood I always had a tendency to art ,music and painting. I painted several pictures and graphics as a hobby. My recent religious life style, lead me to paint Holly Jewish items and recently I began to create several pictures with Jewish motives. My pictures contains the ideas of peace, love and Jewish traditions. The white pigeons with olive branch, fish and bird, grenades, hamsa, menorah and others, symbolizes my new life style, way of thinking and creativity. The colors I used in my pictures are mild and I tried to give a kind of relaxation to the watcher. The contrast and combination of colors in the objects and the back ground, reflects the calm and peaceful Jewish life with joy. In my pictures,I try to symbolize several Jewish traditions and high values.

15. Anat Levi’s Pictures …..And he shall be like a tree

16. …And he shall be like a tree The Book of Psalms opens with theses verse. The success of one who clings to G-d and his Torah are expressed in all areas of life, success in children, in livelihood, in every endeavor. The Tzaddik (holy man) is likened to a fruit tree; just as the tree lives forever, so is the Tzaddik promised eternal life; just as the tree bears good edible fruit, so do the deeds of the Tzaddik radiate on those around him, and all who take shelter in his shade also enjoy his “fruit”. And if the tree is uprooted and transplanted elsewhere (in the world to come), the tree will continue thriving, and will be firmly planted by the streams of heavenly water.

17. Anat Levi’s Pictures STAR OF DAVID Indeed, He who watches over Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps King David petitions G-d and asks for his help, in faith and trust that G-d always aids and takes care of him. The pilgrims on their way to Jerusalem would sing these verses, since those were times when they would need protection and preservation. The verse does not connote a request, but states with certainty and faith that it shall be so.
