"#BruceDavid’s magnum opus is a #psychedelic #lithograph depicting practically the entire #Torah. Over eight months, #David filled it with a plethora of hidden symbols: If you look closely, you can see #Joshua blowing a #shofar, which hugs the #Israeliflag. Squint even more and you’ll notice Joshua’s face is the flared end of an even bigger shofar that encompasses the #TenCommandments, a shofar made up of dozens of small people, seven of whom hold flames as if making a human #menorah.

To understand every hidden image in just this one #painting would take more words than I have space for. David gave me the “short version” of the piece’s story on Zoom — it still took six minutes.

Although David has now spent decades making #Jewish #art — #prints, #mosaics, #stainedglass and #metalworks — and exhibiting it across the country, it wasn’t what he had anticipated doing with his life."

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🏛️⚽ Students at #Rome’s Cavour High School, just steps from the #Colosseum, had long whispered about hidden rooms beneath the gym floor. 🤫

After they explored the #tunnels and alerted #Latin teacher Claudia Marino, archaeologists confirmed a 2nd century Roman villa called #Domus Liceo Cavour with frescoed walls, #mosaics, and even older #graffiti. 🏠
