The poster focuses on Jerusalem as a central symbol of Jewish identity and belonging. The student chose to combine visual and textual elements, including an image of the Western Wall and the Israeli flag, to represent history, tradition, and national connection. The use of three languages (English, Hebrew, and Portuguese) reflects the idea of connection between Israel and the Jewish diaspora. The phrase “Jerusalem is where Jewish people can be safe” highlights an emotional and contemporary perspective. Additionally, the reference to “the city of gold” connects to cultural and historical meanings associated with Jerusalem. This poster responds to the question “What role does Israel play in the Jewish world?” by presenting Israel, and especially Jerusalem, as a place of safety and belonging for Jewish people. It reflects the idea that Israel is not only a geographic location but also a symbolic home connected to identity and history. By emphasizing safety, the student connects Israel to current realities faced by Jewish communities around the world. The use of Jerusalem as the focus reinforces its importance as a spiritual and cultural center. Overall, the poster expresses Israel as both a refuge and a source of unity. The message of the poster is that Jerusalem represents a place where Jewish people can feel safe, connected, and at home. It highlights both emotional and cultural ties, showing Israel as a meaningful center of identity. The poster was inspired by visual and cultural representations of Jerusalem, including references to “Yerushalayim Shel Zahav” (Jerusalem of Gold). The primary sources influenced the choice to portray Jerusalem not only as a physical place but as a symbol of history, beauty, and emotional connection. They helped shape the idea of Jerusalem as both a real and symbolic home for the Jewish people.
