Yemenite Art, Jaffa, Israel "A mezuzah (Hebrew: מְזוּזָה "doorpost"; plural: מְזוּזוֹת mezuzot) is a piece of parchment called a klaf contained in a decorative case and inscribed with specific Hebrew verses from the Torah (Deuteronomy 6:4–9 and 11:13–21[1]). These verses consist of the Jewish prayer Shema Yisrael, beginning with the phrase: "Hear, O Israel, the Lord (is) our God, the Lord is One". In mainstream Rabbinic Judaism, a mezuzah is affixed to the doorpost of Jewish homes to fulfill the mitzvah (Biblical commandment) to "write the words of God on the gates and doorposts of your house" (Deuteronomy 6:9). Some interpret Jewish law to require a mezuzah in every doorway in the home except bathrooms (which is not a living space), laundry rooms and closets, if they are too small to qualify as rooms." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mezuzah AIMG 4222

Silver Clarinet Lamp Metallic silver clarinets had their heyday in the early to mid-twentieth century before the advent of plastic. The best silver clarinets could compete favorably with their wooden brethren, but the majority of silver clarinets were manufactured for outdoor or student use and were of lesser quality. The cost to overhaul these old beauties far exceeds their value as musical instruments, so many of them are finding new life as lamps. I acquired this clarinet for a song on eBay. I bought a lamp base on the web, a lamp kit at the local big box hardware store, a lamp shade at a lighting store and voila! TSCRepurpose Collage 2

Workshop of Gilberto Jara in Chordeleg, Ecuador. Mr. Jara has worked with silver for over 70 years. He starts with pieces of silver, then melts them down into rods. He pulls the rods through a machine that he created to stretch the silver into ropes no thicker than spaghetti which he crimps and makes into filigree jewelry. AIMG 0111
