Contrasts
Tuesday is Yom HaZikaron. Wednesday is Yom Hatzmaut. Sorrow and Celebration. For a short period of time, bein Hashmashos, it will be both, when the days blend together creating a powerful mix of feelings that combine loss and pride and power and understanding.
Sorrow. Celebration. It is part of our shared history. Part of our spiritual DNA.
I designed a poster for our school/shul event, using color and black & white imagery to try and paint the contrasts. The organizers were uncomfortable with the solemn imagery on the left, the wild Moshav Band pictures on the right.
But they understood. It is a complicated day.
Sorrow. Celebration.
