Shalom to Israel wall hanging designed by the israeli artist Shraga Landesman.
Shalom (peace) to Israel- This is the name of the ancient synagogue near Jericho. Archeologists uncovered a large mosaic floor in their excavations. In the center of the mosaic was a circle with the words “Shalom to Israel”, and above that, pictures of a menorah, lulav, and shofar.

A designed wall hanging by the israeli artist Shraga Landesman.

The main design and the story of this necklace comes by a quote from the bible (“Cast thy bread upon the waters”) in a circle pendant that hang on body by a silver chain.

“Cast thy bread upon the waters” (Ecclesiastes 11:1, King James);
This is the advice of Kohelet (Ecclesiastes). We can interpret this advice literally, as throwing bread on the surface of the water so the fish become accustomed to approaching the shore. Then we can catch them.
However, most interpretations teach us that Kohelet is advising us to do good deeds for others, without expecting anything in return.
