On July 10, American Friends of Soroka Medical Center (AFSMC) celebrated “The History of the Star of David” art installation in its permanent home at Soroka Medical Center, Israel’s newest cultural landmark. Artist and filmmaker Marc Bennett’s monumental artwork greets visitors, patients and their families with its uplifting color palette depicting the enduring journey of the world’s most recognizable star. AFSMC commissioned Bennett to create the installation, which is the largest of its kind, standing 16 feet tall and spanning 24 feet wide. This permanent public art installation, produced on a striking stainless steel material, shines as a beacon of hope throughout the redesigned Healing Garden adjacent to the Legacy Heritage Oncology Center and Dr. Larry Norton Institute at the campus in Be’er Sheva.

Recap: Sender travels home on the train at his grandmother’s request. He wonders why she wanted him to come home. He has the plans and photos from the Wright brothers, and he keeps checking to make sure his suitcase is under his seat. He dozes off and wakes with a start when he senses someone leaning over him. The man moves back down the aisle. Later, as he heads home with the precious papers stowed in his suitcase, he wonders if someone is following him.

Finally! The summer is here! Children finished the school year, longer days, warmer weather, and hopefully for most of us some vacation time to chill out and to slow down. Over the past year, I have written on many topics as related to keep our homes in tip-top shape and avoid expensive repairs. I received several calls related to the articles and am quite pleased that Bodeck Home Inspections was of assistance.
