And why I regret not doing it sooner.
At first, I just wanted something nice for the empty wall. Maybe a map of Israel or a Star of David. Something Jewish, but quiet.
So I ordered an original piece by Albert Levi, an Israeli artist who fought in Gaza as part of a commando unit. I figured it was just another pretty picture.
What I got was something I never expected.
Before, guests said "nice" about the pictures on my wall and moved on. Now they stop, step closer and ask:
My home became a place where conversations begin. About Israel, about our roots, about what it means to be Jewish today. I catch myself telling stories I didn't know I remembered.
I thought he was simply a talented artist. Then I read that he started painting only four months before finishing his service in an elite commando unit. Not in an art school. In search of quiet, and of healing.
"I felt a tranquility I had never felt before."
After fighting in Gaza again in the recent war, his art changed. It became his way of processing pain, and of giving others something to hold on to.
This isn't decoration. It's a journey. His, and now mine too.
I didn't want pretty. I wanted meaning.
This isn't factory art from who-knows-where. It's made by someone who fought for Israel and now fights with color. In a heavy time, there's real power in knowing exactly where your money goes and who it lifts.
Hanging his painting was a way of saying: I see you. I stand with you. Even from far away.

For years I thought "Jewish art" meant a Star of David or some Hebrew letters. I was wrong.
A generic print made in China and a piece painted by someone who lives, breathes and fought for Israel are two different things. You can feel the story and the soul in every stroke.
It's not just art. It's Israel, hanging on your wall.
The headlines. The pressure. The constant scrolling. There's very little stillness left.
But every day there's one moment I look forward to. I walk past Albert's Tree of Life, and for a few seconds the noise fades. The world doesn't change. I do.
My house doesn't just look peaceful anymore. It feels peaceful.
After more than 100 days of combat in Gaza, Albert came back not only as a soldier, but as an artist with a mission.
"To paint the soul of Israel."
Every piece is hand painted in his studio with a palette knife and layered acrylics. One of a kind. No two are ever the same.
