Remembering Yael ע"ה

Yael Avi-Yonah, OBM,
returned her precious soul to her Maker
on Chet Mar-Cheshvan
(October 24th 2012).
Below are some photos and links
which may illuminate in a small measure
her greatness as an artist
and a very spiritual woman.

My last photo of Yael with her favorite toy: an angelic bird

In her prolific career as an artist,
Yael made over 650 outstanding portraits
in various mediums,
including her series of oil portraits of
15 great contemporary Israeli authors
(such as Amos Oz, Efraim Kishon,
David Shachar)
which was exhibited
at the Jerusalem International Book Fair
in 1984 and abroad

Selected portraits can be seen at

Perhaps her most striking portrait
is one she made of herself as
Queen Esther with her favorite cat
about 30 years ago.

In my opinion her most prophetic painting
is what she called
The Source of Light -The Resurrection.
May its "prophecy" be fulfilled
quickly and in our times.
