Golden Menorah
 |
|
| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
This is a quote from the haftorah of Shabbat Hanukka:
And the angel who spoke with me returned, and he awakened me as a man who wakes up from his sleep. 2. And he said to me, "What do you see?" And I said, "I saw, and behold [there was] a candelabrum all of gold, with its oil-bowl on top of it, and its seven lamps thereon; seven tubes each to the lamps that were on top of it. 3. And [there were] two olive trees near it; one on the right of the bowl, and one on its left. 4. So I answered and spoke to the angel who talked with me, saying, "What are these, my lord?" 5. And the angel who spoke with me answered, and he said to me, "Do you not know what these are?
Zechariah 4:1-5
When I read this I was reminded of the Menorah that I took a shot of early Friday morning.
The menorah was made by the Temple Institute.

Take me to Israel please!
Hello Yael,
A highly engaging note written for a very good photograph. The great German physicist Werner Heisenberg once said, "Never underestimate how much pleasure it gives a person to see/hear what they already know." So it is with me, I've seen Old City from this vantage point a number of times before, and it does give me pleasure to see such a good photograph of it. A very close friend, and coauthor of three decades is professor at the Technion, and I've come to visit him in Israel many times. We used to be young postdocs at Oxford together.
Warm regards, and shalom.
Bulent
