About Kesher Talk

  • "Kesher" means "connection" in Hebrew. The banner image is the mosaic floor of a 6th c. synagogue in Jericho, showing a menorah flanked by a shofar and lulav; the inscription reads "Shalom Al Yisrael." (This synagogue was destroyed by Arab vandals a few years ago. The condition of the mosaic floor is unknown.)

Israeli graffiti

The remains of a mosque near the Syrian border in the upper Golan, I assume bombed by the Israelis in one of the border wars. (Thumbnail)

From the girl's bathroom in Mike's Place, the oceanside American bar in Tel Aviv which was subjected to a walking bomb in 2003:

Around the corner from Mike's Place is a mural with images from Israel's early paper currency. And an enigmatic message in green. (Thumbnail)

Judith,

I suspect that Mosque was destroyed in 1967. It was probably the site of a battle since there are bullet holes everywhere. The remains of what look like homes were nearby. Since no Moslems remained on the Golan after the war I assume they were pushed out and the village razed.
