The major elements in my poster all symbolize aspects of Israel with the focal point being the dove with an olive branch- a symbol of peace. In my poster there are pictures of the Israeli flag, Western Wall, symbols of protection, and items that represent key Jewish holidays. All of these items make me think of Israel and my Jewish identity. From the Western Wall, to a Mezuzah hanging on a door frame, or a Hamsa hanging around my neck, it is these reminders that are part of my Jewish Identity. My great grandparents on my Mother’s side were German Jews. They saw first hand the power of the Nazis and nearly all of my mother’s family was killed in Nazi Germany. My Jewish story, like so many others, is of resilience and strength. While I have not visited Israel yet, I look forward to going to a place where I am always welcome. My great grandparents and their families dreamed of a place where they would feel welcome, and not have to hide who they are. In a world where so much antisemitism exists, similarly to what my family endured so long ago, it's comforting to know that we always have a place to go and feel free. My poster is conveying the message that all Jews are one, regardless of how religious you are, we stand united, as one Jew. Israel is not just a country, it's our land that our ancestors came from for us. G-d gave us this land because he/she wanted to make sure the children of ours could have a place to go and feel free. These symbols reflect our Jewish identity that together form our Israel, a land beautiful, unbreakable, unstoppable, and symbolic to our Jewish identity. I used a drawing by Yael Rendelstein of a girl with the Israeli flag around her neck. It looks like she's putting her hands out like she's free. My poster reflects the same meaning of freedom.
