ANAT LEVI

Young Israeli Painter

Anat Levi I am a young Israeli,born in Haifa-Kiryat Hayim- 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.

Anat Levi’s PicturesIf I Forget Jerusalem …..

“If I forget thee Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its skill, may my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth…”. Every day we pray for the construction of the Third Temple, and until it is built, we keep the custom of saying this verse at every wedding festivity, which is the edification of a Jewish home, in order to remind ourselves that no joy is complete until the Temple is built.

Gather Us Together

The blessing for the Gathering Together of the Exiles in the Shmone Essreh Prayer, is one of the thirteen requests in this prayer, and it is the first that has a general (as opposed to a personal) nature, bearing on the entire nation (along with the request for justice, for Jerusalem, and for salvation)……

Anat Levi’s PicturesEast (MiZRaCH)In Hebrew the initials of the word for East spell out Mitzad Zeh Ru’ach Cha’im (From this side the spirit of life).

The direction of prayer, of synagogues, and of the heart is always raised towards Jerusalem, which stands at the center of the world, and from whom life springs eternal to all things living.

Anat Levi’s Pictures

…..And he shall be like a tree

…And he shall be like a treeThe 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.

STAR OF DAVID

Indeed, He who watches over Israel neither slumbers nor sleepsKing 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.
