A major update; I've added 10 more pictures.
First of all, here's an ALTERNATE INTERFACE:
sa040809.htm This is the File Manager

Now: Here are the new pictures:

=fred27g.jpg is a version of =fred27g.jpg , which sits on my
primary Website,

a
Rather a large dragon there, whom one may eventually have to nudge
aside.
A collage ben Yitzhak ben Yehuda, the original sits aside the
historic Synagogue of Moshav Meor Modi'in , Mevo Modi'im , a
convenient taxi_cab__ride from Lod International Airport; ample
camping facilities available for those who wish to work on their
tan.
Pictures by Judy AvrahamHai , Moshav Mevo Modi'in
The following pictures are from my Collection:
jahbtknu.jpg
The Bet Knesset (unfinished; and purchased to remain so). For
when is a Bet Knesset ever finished?
jahoil2.jpg
A small oil, landscape, gazing outside the Moshav from below
Members Row, before Brasilia East began its Star Wars approach.
jahpur2.jpg
A minor water-colour greeting card, for Purim.
jah has done many watercolours, and an embroidered challa cover,
with plants and flowers, all very gentle and quite nice.
ybybird1.jpg
Painted on the wall of the Moshav Meor Modi'in Bet Knesset, on
available space -- it works around a circuit-breaker box, and
around some producing electrical connectors, which seem to be
twigs on the tree that the bird sits on --
this is a major addition to Yitzah ben Yehuda's decoration of the
Bet Knesset.
The picture does not go quite low enough; try to note how the
bird's plumage trails off into less and less tangible, subtle and
subtler, "levels" of being.
And somewhere Pound remembers Yeats declaiming:
" how he had made a bird
a GR--EAT PEA-A--COCK"
only Pound writes it so much better than what I can recollect
now.
OK: Louis Simpson writes, in "Three on the Tower" (1975, Wm.
Morrow & Co. Inc. NYC):
"For three winters, 1913-1916, Pound went with Yeats to Sussex as
his secretary. There is an affedionate account of this in the
Cantos. Pound recalls trhe voice of "Uncle Willima downstirs
composing":
that he had made a great Peeeeeacock
in the proide ov his oiye
had made a great peeeeeeecock in the ..... [Canto 83]
Leah Silver, one of the daughters of the Moshav, makes charmingly
exhuberant ceramic jewelry and artificacts; those were
photographed and here are copies of the photos:
leahsil1.jpg and
leahs2.jpg
Most of her work is for sale; she may be met on the Moshav; or E-
mail:
snsilver@netvision.net.il
Miriam Gal-Or, one of the daughers of the Moshav, is a painter.
Her work was recently exhibited at Haverei shel Sergio, in
Jerusalem. Here is a scan of a newspaper photo of some of her
pictures.

miles south of the turnoff for Lama Foundation.
24 JUNE '04 -- 5 TaMUZ -- 5 Jaamuda al-awal
Scan0001.TIF PVK Zenith 88 (per AgL)
Note: HP Scanjet leaves pictures as *.tif , ca. 3 Mb. Use HP
Album to Save As *.jpg, about 30-- 300 K.
25 June '05 -- 6 TaMUZ -- erev Shabat -- 6 Maamuda al-awal
Added PVK88Zag.JPG, a Save-As JPEG etc.
that came out as a 98.7K *.JPG -- I have no idea how it compares
with the preceeding -- or if one would even notice the difference
--
The morning, from first light through sunset, is always lovely --
the birds wake up and all start singing, not at first light, but
about dawn --
Jonathan Daniels once said, this is when we recite the Psalms --
and then comes dawn -- the rays of the sun so beautiful through the clouds -- sunbeams
(and someone from the Abode once said;
PVK once said of HIK, 'he is throwing great beams of light') --
and then ,Jonothan Daniels added:
at sunrise the birds all are silent for a moment --
and this is when (if one is lucky enough to have had good timing that day) one says the Amidah, the Silent Prayer --
again, very best to all, in everything --
as always,
