Aram Gershuni

Oil on Wood, 40×35 cm.

The monochromaticity of the background only enhances the simplicity of the challah itself. She herself, the Challah, does not boast in bold colors and does not boast with intricate and impressive design. On the contrary. Her basic shape is a rectangle, a simple and primary pattern.

Her texture is simple and soft, and the taste does not require delicacy. All she is, is just a few simple, soft, rounded lines. Only the smell is beyond any other smell; it is that which illustrates how special she is.

More than any other dish, she carries memories of centuries, and inspires festivity in her very presence.
