Detail of Parshat Vayeshev Painting 2007

With a name like stars and stripes in the title of this post, perhaps you were expecting something else? What do you see in this painting? It is a detail of the invitation we used for my older son’s bar-mitzvah in 2007.

If you don’t know the story (or can only guess the stripes), here’s a link to the parsha.

Lovely and rich painting; you have really managed to include a lot of elements of the parshah.

What a gorgeous representation of the parsha and its various dreams!

We're IY"H making a bar mitzvah on Shabbat Parshat Vayeishev 2011. (Save the date. :-) )

Start looking around now for striped fabric for decorating. I found some at Walmart a few days before the bar-mitzvah; wish I had told the caterer to decorate with stripes months before.
