“ Old men and women will yet sit in the streets of Jerusalem,
and each will have his staff in his hand due to old age, 
and the streets of the city will, once again, 
be filled with boys and girls playing”. 

[ Zecharya 8:4-5]
This painting depicts the prophecy of Zecharya, that despite the doom and destruction that he and the other
 prophets forsaw, there will be a day, that will see true peace, tranquility and happiness return to Jerusalem.

‘Don’t worry Rabbi,’ said the smuggler. ‘We have as much as you need.’
He left them and soon met a Jew.
‘Do you have any Hametz’, he asked.

‘Hametz?’ asked the astonished Jew. ‘Heaven forbid that a Jew should have Hametz after the sixth hour on Erev Pessach!’
Soon he met a second Jew and again asked, ‘Do you have any Hametz?’
‘What did you ask, Rabbi’, answered the distraught man. ‘Hametz at this time!”…
