At the entrance to the Har Adar forest 2003

 

The Tree of Creation was built in cooperation with Gidi Bashan, the JNF and David Efrati, head of the local council. A group of local residents got together and we carved in the forest for a whole year, in all weather conditions. The circle around the campfire and the great food contributed to this special encounter.

 

The carvers, with whom I still carve today are Amnon Levi, Gabi  Itzik Shahak, Bin-Non Yigal Zaken, Gabi Shefa, Zehava Efrati, Michael Litvak and Rachel Ackstein.

 

People who think with their hearts.

 

Yuval Lopen from Ginnosar donated the cypress trunk.
