The Mezuzah of Hope

The Mezuzah of Hope is a monumental work constructed from authentic missile fragments launched from Lebanon, Gaza, and Iran, combined with a fragment of an Iron Dome interceptor. Materials originally designed for destruction are reassembled into a sacred object traditionally placed at the entrance of a Jewish home.

Standing one meter tall, the mezuzah contains a kosher parchment scroll measuring sixty centimeters. The scroll is displayed within a transparent protective capsule, revealing the spiritual core of the object while preserving it.

Embedded within the structure is the silhouette of the Land of Israel, rendered in twenty four karat gold leaf. This element anchors the work in themes of memory, belonging, resilience, and the enduring connection between people, land, and faith.

Created as a unique one of a kind artwork, the piece exists simultaneously as a ritual object and a sculptural statement. Fragments of conflict are transformed into a symbol of protection, continuity, and hope.

Placed at the threshold, the mezuzah traditionally marks the boundary between the outside world and the safety of the home. In this work, that ancient gesture becomes a contemporary expression of survival and renewal.

The work was presented in the artist’s solo exhibition in Tel Aviv and later in his solo exhibition “1956” in Manhattan.
