Tonight we celebrate Yom Haatzmaut. Artist Arthur

Tonight we celebrate Yom Haatzmaut. Artist Arthur Szyk began work on this print on May 14, 1948, the day David Ben Gurion declared Israel an independent state. Szyk took six months to complete the intricately illustrated proclamation, which includes biblical and modern symbols of the land of Israel surrounding the Hebrew text. Today, it serves as a reminder of the enduring spirit of the Jewish people.
