Altneuland Project
“Whenever we take a look at architecture around the world; we can identify the nature of the people that use those buildings as time passes. Looking at Tel Aviv and beyond the architects’ master plan, we can discover archeological layers of different elements that have been added during the years. These layers are defined as beautiful or ugly, and of course lie in the eyes of the beholder”
Contemporary Judaica
“The Vitek 9 Hanukkah menorah (2015) is yet another example of the long tradition of Hanukkah menorahs whose designs are inspired by local, contemporary architecture. The uniqueness of this piece is that it responds to the particular physical characteristics of the local space, particularly those found on the axis between the neglect and preservation of local architecture”

“The exhibition In and Out, Between and Beyond: Jewish Daily Life in Medieval Europe that opened in the Max and Iris Stern Gallery at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (June 2021) and in the Old Synagogue of Erfurt, Germany (November 2022), is among the final fruits of the European Research Council research group Beyond the Elite: Jewish Daily Life in Medieval Europe, headed by Prof. Elisheva Baumgarten. It offers a fascinating perspective on how Jews and their Christian neighbors lived their lives in and around medieval cities.

Disgrace to the White House
Garbage Pail Kids as a Platform for Political Satire
While originally designed for children, Garbage Pail Kids evolved into a model for political satire already in the 1980s, gaining further prominence since the second decade of the 21st century. This research aims to demonstrate how this phenomenon has been applied in both Topps’ official products and unofficial spinoffs created by satirists and caricaturists. This historical book involves synthesizing visual findings from both ephemeral and digital sources, as well as historical materials sourced from daily press and children’s magazines. Additionally, it relies on personal communication with individuals involved in creating, distributing, and collecting Garbage Pail Kids, the local ecotypes, and their offshoots.
Garbage Pail Kids
On Caricature, Satire and Political Stench
“Originally produced by Topps Chewing Gum, Inc. (Brooklyn, New York), a local version of GPK sticker cards were distributed in Israel in 1987-8. Although designed as product for children, the Israeli version of Garbage Pail Kids left a deep impression on the local political discourse. ‘Havurat HaZevel’ – the Hebrew translation of Garbage Pail Kids, became a newly coined expression, often used by publicists as well as by members of the Israeli parliament in order to portray the ultimate political ‘other’. The use of Garbage Pail Kids in Israeli political context gave rise to several spinoffs. The appearance of these creative initiatives over the last three decades coresponds to political circumstances, mainly to the elections for the Knesset and for Prime Minister as well as to expressions of political dissent and protest”
We Hate the Holidays
Garbage Pail Kids and Havurat HaZevel as a Platform for Cultural Exchange
“A close examination of GK and Havurat HaZevel reflects a cultural exchange between the American and Israeli versions, Namely the exchange of non-Jewish themes, especially Gentile holidays in Havurat HaZevel, and on the other hand, the inclusion of themes related to the Jewish holiday of Hannukah in some of the new series released in America”
