Israel’s Olive Branches vs. Hamas’ Guns and Grenades

One glance at the emblems of Israel and Hamas tells the whole story!

Israel’s emblem shows a menorah and olive branches representing light and peace.

Hamas’ emblem shows rifles and hand grenades representing death and destruction and the genocidal aims to wipe Israel off the map and slaughter all its Jews. Its background shows a map of Israel replaced by an Islamic state. Hamas uses the same PLO emblem designed by its Fatah rival.

The Hamas/PLO emblem illustrates the Hamas Charter’s murderous and genocidal intent. In contrast, Israel's emblem illustrates its Declaration of Independence that extends its hand to all neighboring states and their peoples in peace and good neighborliness.

HAMAS CHARTER 

“Israel, by virtue of its being Jewish and of having a Jewish population, defies Islam and the Muslims. Muslims will fight the Jews until the Jews hide behind rocks and trees, which will cry: O Muslim! there is a Jew hiding behind me, come on and kill him. I indeed wish to go to war for the sake of Allah! I will assault and kill, assault and kill, assault and kill.'”

ISRAEL DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

"The State of Israel will guarantee freedom of religion, conscience, language, education and culture.  We extend our hand to all neighboring states and their peoples in an offer of peace and good neighborliness, and appeal to them to establish bonds of cooperation and mutual help with the sovereign Jewish people in its own land."

   

Although I am an expert on the power of visual images as professor of art and education at Columbia University and research fellow at MIT Center for Advanced Visual Studies, anyone can see the radical difference in the design of their emblems between the values and aims of Israel and Hamas/PLO .

President of the United States Joe Biden says it clearly, “Let’s get something straight here, until the region says unequivocally they acknowledge the right of Israel to exist as an independent Jewish state, there will be no peace.”

Julie's Birthday: Loving Kindness and Beauty

 Today is Julie’s birthday in the Hebrew calendar when loving kindness and beauty come together.   

It is the third day of the counting of the omer marking the 49 days from the Exodus from Egypt to the receiving the Torah at Mt. Sinai. Each of these days has a unique character. It is most fitting that Julie’s birthday falls when the Divine attributes Tiferet (beauty that combines compassion with inner strength) and Hesed (loving kindness) merge.

Women in the Torah represent each of the ten Divine attribute in the Tree of Life that describes the creative process of both God as the Creator of all and human creativity.

Ruth represents Hesed by refusing to leave her widowed and destitute mother-in-law Naomi, following her from her land of Moav to the land of Israel. 

“Where you go, I will go. Your home will be my home. Your people will be my people, and your God my God.”  (Ruth 1: 16-17)

Rebecca represents Tiferet by her giving a drink of water to a thirsty stranger and to his camels.  It was the sign that he has found the right woman to become for Isaac’s wife. Tiferet is an aesthetic integration of Hesed and Gevurah (inner strength). She demonstrated her Gevurah by refusing to wait to leave her home to go forth on the long trip to meet and marry Isaac.

Abraham’s emissary prayed when he left on a mission to find a bride for Abraham’s son Isaac.

“If I say to a girl, ‘Tip over your jug and let me drink,’ and she replies, ‘Drink and I will also give water to your camels, ‘she will be the one designated by God for Isaac.” (Genesis 24: 14)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR DEAREST JULIE. MAY ALL YOUR PRAYERS BE ANSWERED.  

MAZEL TOV!

LOVE, IMA AND ABBA

My Father Abraham on his Yarzeit 5780/2020

My life was blessed to have been able to see hesed being enacted daily by my father Abraham.  He was born in Woodbine, where his parents were founders of an agricultural village established in 1891 in New Jersey for Jews fleeing to freedom from the pogroms of Czarist Russia. 

After high school, Abraham left his birthplace and his parent’s home and moved to New York where he met my mother Jeanne, a rabbi’s daughter born in Boston.  As the Great Depression was approaching, Abraham turned down admission to university and a pro baseball contract at a time when a player’s wage was meager.  Instead of realizing his dreams, he ran a housewares store in Brooklyn to support his extended family.

Jeanne told of the days when her parents and their five children shared a single roll as their sole meal of the day.   While courting Jeanne, Abraham gave her unemployed father funds to open a Hebrew bookstore to feed his family.  After marrying Jeanne, he gave his brother-in-law, a young rabbi, money for the down payment on a building to convert to a storefront synagogue with living quarters above.  His brother-in-law named it Congregation Beth Abraham after my father.  When Jeanne’s father passed away, his wife with her two unmarried children came to live in my parent’s three-room apartment in Queens when I was seven and my sister five.  

Abraham took them in with opened arms. His hesed flowing through our crowded apartment transformed it into a welcoming home of love and tranquility.   The daily acts of giving and sharing with compassion and caring between my parents, sister, grandmother, aunt and uncle seemed to extend the walls of the small apartment we all shared.  Every word spoken in our home as I grew up was spoken with affection, thoughtfulness, and consideration.     

After my father worked for forty years in his store in Brooklyn, he moved with my mother to Florida.  He joined “Operation Grandfather,” a Federal government sponsored program in which retired people volunteered to work in elementary schools teaching reading and math to disadvantaged children on a one-to-one basis.  After taking courses in child psychology and educational methodology, he worked in the program for ten years.  When I would visit Florida and walk with my father in the mall, I enjoyed seeing excited African-American children call out “Grandpa Abraham,” run into his arms and hug him tightly.

Sight and Insight: Iyrit's Birthday

Parshat Pinhas, read this week in celebration of our dear daughter Iyrit’s 60^th birthday.

May she enjoy many years of health and happiness together with her husband Yehiel in the Land of Israel.

With Pride and Love, Mom and Dad

"God said to Moses, "Go up to this mountain of Avarim and SEE the Land that I have given to the Children of Israel. You shall SEE it." (Numbers 27: 12)

Why is "see" repeated twice?  At first glance, Moses saw the Dead Sea and desert. Then, he saw the future of his people in their land.

Rabbi Haim ben Attar explained that Moses gained a deeper vision and grasp of the inner spiritual essence of life in the Land of Israel. (Or Hahaim)

Moses could see children playing in the Land of Israel.

“And the streets of the city will be filled with boys and girls playing.” (Zekhariah 8: 5)

In the photos in this blog post, Iyrit’s grandchildren Eliad and Tehila are seen realizing Zekhariah’s vision.

It is her hope that her youngest grandchild Ariel will soon return to playing in Israel’s streets.

Rabbi Haim ben Attar was born in Morocco in 1698. Two years later, the Baal Shem Tov was born in Poland. 

It is told that if these two giants of the Jewish people had met each other, the Moshiah would have come.

They both taught that through sanctifying everyday life, we sanctifying God.

Iyrit played in the streets of Israel when she was nine to 13 years old when we went back to the States.

She had the courage, determination, and Zionist zeal to return to Israel by herself when she was 16.

Iyrit was the first granddaughter born to her grandparents Jeanne and Abraham Alexenberg and Anna and Leo Benjamin.

She created a Jewish home in Israel filled with her love for her children. 

Iyrit’s world is colored by her smiles and joy in connecting the Jewish people in the Land of Israel by bringing together the worlds of Rabbi Haim ben Attar and the Baal Shem Tov.

Her children’s ancestors were born in Morocco and Poland.

Kabbalah of Ari's Baseball Cap

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR DEAR SON ARI, LOVE, MOM AND DAD

Aharay/After (Leviticus 16:1-18:30) 

“God said to Moses:  Speak to your brother Aaron that he shall don a tunic and pants on his body of special cloth, gird himself with a cloth belt and wear a special cloth cap.” (Leviticus 16: 2, 4)

Aaron wore a special uniform to carry out his priestly role in the sanctuary.  Our son Ari wore a Petah Tikva Pioneers uniform.

We named our southpaw son Aharon when he was born, but call him Ari. He was pitcher and coach in the Israel Baseball League.

Mel photographed Ari and his Petah Tikva Pioneers teammates wearing red tunics, belts and baseball caps with white pants.

Modi'in Miracle pitcher, 6' 7" Maximo Nelson, stands for singing Hatikvah with a batboy wearing a uniform with flowing tzitzit fringes.

At the end of the game between the Pioneers and the Miracle, Ari, the winning pitcher was surrounded by fans asking for his autograph.

  

“Hillel declared: Be of the disciples of Aaron, loving peace and pursuing peace.” (Avot/Ethics of the Fathers 15: 2)

As baseball coach, our son Aaron used his human relations skills to pursue peace between players who came to Israel from many lands.

As coach, Ari (a lion) used his strength to forge a unified team as he realized his dream of being a professional baseball player.  

10 players on the field created a kabbalistic game of 10 sephirot.

He saw Keter, Hokhmah and Binah playing the outfield, Hesed, Gevurah, Netzah, and Hod playing the infield, and Malkhut as catcher.

Ari as Tiferet on the mound pitched his fastball past the batter Yesod of the opposing team into the mitt of Malkhut.

When Yesod hit the next pitch over the fence and out of the field, the crowd cried out "Ayn Sof! Ayn Sof!" (Infinity! Infinity!)

Now, Ari is also a catcher represented as Malkut where all the 10 sephirot come down to earth into the world of Asiyah (action), the everyday world of space and time.

Rembrandt Cyberangels Fly from Jerusalem in Israel to JerUSAlems in USA

I created this digital age artwork to celebrate Jerusalem Day when Jerusalem was liberated 53 years ago after 2,000 years of rule by imperial powers from the Roman Empire to the Ottoman Empire. Jerusalem was established as Israel's capital by King David more than 3,000 years ago. 

This historic day was celebrated by my launching Rembrandt-inspired cyberangels from the Israel Museum in Jerusalem to art museums in states in USA with places named JerUSAlem in Alabama, Georgia, Michigan, New York, North Carolina, and Ohio that have my artworks in their collections.  See my book Through a Bible Lens for conceptual background for this artwork.

A list of the locations of all 20 JerUSAlems in USA can be found at JerUSAlem-USA.  
Art Museums in Tennessee, Arkansas, Maryland, Rhode Island, Utah, and Vermont, states with places named JerUSAlem, will join in future JerUSAlem-USA art events. 

What are cyberangels?
“A ladder was standing on the ground, its top reaching up towards heaven as divine angels were going up and down on it.” (Genesis 28: 12)

I discovered cyberangels when I was in a synagogue in Brooklyn listening to the chanting of the biblical portion about artists Bezalel and Oholiav building the Tabernacle. I was translating the Hebrew words into English in my mind when it struck me that the Bible’s term for “art” is malekhet makhshevet, literally “thoughtful craft.” It is a feminine term. Since I’m a male artist, I transformed it into its masculine form malakh makhshev, literally “computer angel.” 

When the services ended, I ran to tell my wife Miriam that I discovered that my role as a male Jewish artist is to create computer angels. “To do what?” was her response. I reminded her of an article that our son Rabbi Ron Alexenberg had sent us a week earlier when he was archivist at HaRav Kook House in Jerusalem.  Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook, a down-to-earth mystic who served as the chief rabbi of pre-state Israel, described the light in Rembrandt paintings as the light of the first day of Creation. I created the word “cyberangel” for my computer-generated angels inspired by Rembrandt’s drawings of angels as winged people.  

I felt well equipped to create computer angels. I was head of the art department at Pratt Institute, America’s leading art college, where I taught “Fine Art with Computers,” and research fellow at MIT Center for Advanced Visual Studies where I was creating the exhibition LightsOROT: Spiritual Dimensions of the Electronic Age for Yeshiva University Museum.

Cyberangel Flights Celebrate Jerusalem Day

“Halleluyah, Hallelu…. Blessed be the Lord from Zion who dwells in Jerusalem, Halleluyah.” (Psalm 135)

On Jerusalem Day, cyberangels begin their virtual flights from Israel Museum's Shrine of the Book, home of ancient Bible scrolls. They gain momentum by going up from the tallest building in Israel, home of Facebook’s R&D Center, until construction is completed for the 91 story Azrieli Spiral Tower in Tel Aviv shaped as a Bible scroll.

They fly to the following museums in states that have places called JerUSAlem. These museums are ten of 30 museums on five continents that have my cyberangel artworks in their collections.  Clicking on the name of each museum will bring you to that museum's detailed post at the JerUSAlem-USA blog.

All these virtual flights are documented in the JerUSAlem-USA and Global Tribute to Rembrandt blogs.

Although these museums are still closed by the coronavirus pandemic, cyberangels have the power to enter their virtual spaces. High Museum of Art represents an exemplary digital age response to the closure. On opening the museum’s website, you read: “COVID-19: Our building may be closed, but you can still experience art 24/7. Explore High.org for social connection, virtual events, inspiring images, art activities, and informative videos.”  High Museum of Art in Georgia; 6,456 miles from Jerusalem, Israel; 340 miles from Jerusalem, Georgia; or 0 Cybermiles via the Internet Cloud

I am sending a cyberangel team led by the angel Raphael to the ten museums to herald the finale of the corona plague. In both Jewish and Christian traditions, the angel Raphael works to heal bodies, minds and spirits. “Raphael” is related to the word rophe, the divine healer in biblical Hebrew (Exodus 15: 26), and medical doctor in contemporary Hebrew.

If the museums’ physical space was opened, the cyberangels would enter the museums through their cafes. Why cafes? The biblical words for angel malakh and food ma’akhal are spelled with the same four Hebrew letters to teach that angels are spiritual messages arising from everyday life.

The spiritual power of digital culture in shaping the future was recognized early on by the 20th century's influential spiritual leader, the Lubavicher Rebbe, who was educated as a scientist. He wrote: “The Divine purpose of the present information revolution, which gives an individual unprecedented power and opportunity, is to allow us to share knowledge – spiritual knowledge – with each other, empowering and unifying individuals everywhere. We need to use today’s interactive technology not just for business or leisure but to interlink as people – to create a welcome environment for the interaction of our souls, our hearts, our visions.”

On the Wings of Eagles

"Who are these who fly like a cloud, and like doves to their roosts… to bring your sons from afar?" (Isaiah 60: 8, 9)

Cyberangel flight is a mirror metaphor for the miracle of the Jewish people returning home “on wings of eagles” (Exodus 19: 4) after 2000 years of exile. Like angels in Jacob’s dream going up and down a ladder, cyberangels on this Jerusalem Day ascend from the Holy Land bringing messages of health and peace across the globe while El Al Dreamliners are flying “from the four corners of the Earth to ingather the dispersed ones of Judah.” (Isaiah 11: 12) My son-in-law Dr. Yehiel Lasry, mayor of Ashdod, Israel’s major port city, told me that the citizens of his city were born in 99 different countries.

Biblical Insights for the New Media Age

"In the network of networks, God created media systems for creating heaven and earth. When the earth was absolutely empty and dark, God created light and separated between light and darkness (1 and 0, on and off)." (Genesis: 1-4)

This is my digital age translation of the Bible's beginning verses from Hebrew, the original language of the Bible. It is discussed in my latest book Through a Bible Lens that offers biblical insights for our ubiquitous world of new media. 

It was published shortly before the coronavirus pandemic erupted. It anticipated the need for spiritual insights for coping with the radical changes in our lives in physical isolation while demonstrating how new media can connect us in virtual space. The book demonstrates to people of all faiths how biblical insights can transform life, in good times and bad, into imaginative ways of seeing spirituality in all that we do.

The book’s cover is based upon an artwork I created in Jerusalem that is in the collection of the Israel Museum. It shows cyberangels ascending from a NASA satellite image of the Land of Israel as they emerge from a smartphone screen. It illustrates the biblical commentary that the angels in Jacob’s dream go up from the Land of Israel and come down to earth throughout the world. “A ladder was standing on the ground, its top reaching up towards heaven as divine angels were going up and down on it.” (Genesis 28: 12) A smartphone has the power to make this vision a reality.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Cyberangels Fly from Israel to The Met and MoMA to Herald End of Corona Plague

Mel Alexenberg’s creates digital age artworks in which cyberangels take flight from Israel as messengers of hope everywhere the coronavirus is striking our bodies and souls. 

“A lion has roared; who will not fear?” (Amos 3: 8) “Go into your houses, my people, and lock your door behind you; hide for just a moment until the wrath has passed.” (Isaiah 26: 20)

While the frightening coronavirus pandemic requires that you hide in physical isolation away from everyone, the world of smartphones and the Internet invites you to come out of hiding and connect to anyone. People throughout the world look forward to “Awaking and shouting for joy” (Isaiah 26: 19) when the curtain comes down at the end of the plague.

Mel makes the words of the Bible come alive as the cyberangels come down to earth in The Met and MoMA in NYC, and 28 other museums on five continents that have his Rembrandt-inspired artworks in their collections. The cyberangels arrived from Israel at the museums’ cafes of since the biblical words for angel and food are spelled with the same four Hebrew letters to teach that angels are spiritual messages arising from everyday life. All 30 virtual flights are documented in the Global Tribute to Rembrandt blog that pays homage to the great master on the 350^th anniversary of his death.

He is reactivating a cyberangel team that will be led by the angel Raphael to herald the grand finale of the coronavirus plague. In Jewish and Christian traditions, the angel Raphael works to heal bodies, minds and spirits. “Raphael” is related to the word rophe, the Divine healer in biblical Hebrew (Exodus 15:26), and medical doctor in contemporary Hebrew. Since COVID-19 has closed the museums, Alexenberg is sending the angel Raphael team to bring healing words to their homebound staffs with an image of cyberangels flying into their museums when they reopen.  

His highly acclaimed book Through a Bible Lens offers biblical insights for the new media age. It was published shortly before the coronavirus pandemic erupted, anticipating the need for spiritual insights for coping with the radical changes in our lives in physical isolation while demonstrating how new media can connect us in virtual space.

The book demonstrates to people of all faiths how biblical insights can transform life, in good times and bad, into imaginative ways of seeing spirituality in all that we do.
