Across the spectrum of art history, from the earliest known cave painters to the present,artists have sought to convey thoughts, ideas and emotions that would transcend time

David Guez’s work accomplishes this.

Referencing ancient cave painting and cutting-edge mark making of contemporary masters, his work is both personal and

Having resided in four countries, conversing in multiple languages, it’s not surprising that his work is a synthesis of who he is, where he has

With his domestic-scale, gestural paintings, built up through pronounced marks in oil on canvas, there is both timelessness and immediacy.

Each abstract mark is an expression,an expulsion of spiritual and physical energy. A statement. Guez creates a visual language through mark making, conveying his own personality, spirituality, psychologicalstate and commentary on the world we live in.

The evolution of David Guez’s work begins with a predominant sun burning throughthick clouds shattering an already fragmented groundscape. The blazing sun then

This lasts just a short time untildisruption enters again with porous boundaries; the red dot is an indefinable mass, a smudge, suggesting disarray and leakage from all corners.

Guez’s story resumes again when he returns with the red protagonist, albeit now

Each painting speaking with measured strokes and each meditative stroke steadily applied like a stacked brick. The latest paintings are amongst his most powerful to date and their message – both

These new works tell new stories, stories within the stories Guez has been telling since he first applied paint to canvas.

There comes the point when culture wars and populism impair a country’s institutions, society, and economy.

That moment has arrived in Israel, where the Knesset, or parliament, held the first reading of a legal reform bill.

Israeli liberals are up in arms. Big street protests have erupted. Bosses have spoken out. Tech workers at various firms in a number of towns held their first-ever strike in protest against the proposals. They walked out carrying signs saying “No Democracy—No High-Tech”.

The Israeli high-tech sector has been seen as a role model of professionalism by investors and startups,” says a venture capitalist in Jerusalem. “A professional and independent legal system is a bedrock for this.”

Israel’s economic miracle depends on mobile capital and a liberal, globalized tech workforce that generated 54% of goods and services exports in 2021. Despite wars, political instability and global financial turmoil, Israel’s economy has been a steady success. Bar a blip in 2020, it has grown by almost 4% a year since 1996.

In many ways, this is Israel's moment, its economy is thriving, and it has new friendships in the Arab world through the Abraham Accords..

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and China’s military build-up, herald a new era of big-power rivalry.While Never-ending nuclear talks with Iran are bordering on the absurd.

Yet the label scarcely captures the moment—the start of a post-post-cold-war epoch in which the American-shaped world order may be violently undone by Russia and China.

Hanukkah is a unique time for accessing the sparks of light within and thereby light up the world.

First, let's hear and be inspired by the learning lessons In memory of Rabbi Lord Jonathan J. Sacks (Z'L)

"There's A Crack In Everything, That's How Light Gets In.. "

Leonard Norman (Eliezer) Cohen (Z'L) was born into an Orthodox Jewish family in Westmount, Quebec, on September 21, 1934. His Lithuanian mother, Marsha ("Masha") Klonitsky (1905–1978), emigrated to Canada in 1927 and was the daughter of Talmudic writer and rabbi Solomon Klonitsky-Kline. His paternal grandfather, whose family had moved from Poland to Canada, was Canadian Jewish Congress founding president Lyon Cohen.

His parents gave him the Jewish name Eliezer, which means "God helps".His father, clothing store owner Nathan Bernard Cohen (1891–1944), died when Cohen was nine years old. The family attended Congregation Shaar Hashomayim, to which Cohen retained connections for the rest of his life. On being a ‘Kohen’, he said "I had a very Messianic childhood. I was told I was a descendant of Aaron, the high priest in Judaism."

Cohen's writing process, as he told an interviewer, was "like a bear stumbling into a beehive or a honey cache: I'm stumbling right into it and getting stuck, and it's delicious and it's horrible and I'm in it and it's not very graceful and it's very awkward and it's very painful and yet there's something inevitable about it." For six decades, Leonard Cohen revealed his soul to the world through poetry and song—his deep and timeless humanity touching our very core. Simply brilliant. His music and words will resonate forever. People think Leonard is dark, but actually, his sense of humor and his edge on the world is extremely light.

Leonard acknowledges that the whole act of living contains immense amounts of sorrow and hopelessness and despair; and also passion, high hopes, deep love, and eternal love. Over a musical career that spanned nearly five decades, Mr. Cohen wrote songs that addressed—in spare language that could be both oblique and telling—themes of love and faith, despair and exaltation, solitude and connection, war and politics. It's inevitable that Mr. Cohen will be remembered above all for his lyrics. They are terse and acrobatic, scriptural and bawdy, vividly descriptive and enduringly ambiguous, never far from either a riddle or a punch line.
