Description
Barbara Shaw's newest calendar takes some of the oldest zodiac signs and gives them a modern look. The dates of the Jewish Festivals are featured.
The 12 signs of the zodiac correlate to the 12 Hebrew months and some say to the 12 tribes. The Jewish year is based on the lunar year and the Jewish perspective is that the signs of the zodiac were positioned at the time of Creation. The Zodiac symbols appear quite often in Jewish illustrations and mosaics, even in synagogues. While there are mixed views on Astrology in Judaism, the illustrations here are taken from strictly Jewish sources. This delightful handmade cotton tea towel has been handmade in Jerusalem.

More about Barbara Shaw
Barbara Shaw's passion is to artistically present Israel and her Jewish roots in a fresh, creative, and fun way. She loves fusing the ancient with the contemporary. She likes her ranges to have an international feel, yet with a look that says it could only have been produced in Israel.
Barbara grew up in Sydney, Australia and came to Israel in 1986. After searching for gifts and not finding what she wanted, she decided to produce her own. She saw a gap in the market for bold, well designed and packaged gifts; items that are practical and beautiful.
All products are made ethically in her workshop in Jerusalem. Her aim is to touch people's hearts and strike a chord with their heritage and family background.
