The photograph to the right of the menorah is the first generation of my Jewish British family. It dates from circa 1918-20. The handsome chappy on the right is my father, Jack (Jacob) Goldstein born in London May 1908, seated in the middle is his younger sister, Mary, born in London in 1909. The older brother on the left is Michael, born in Austria in 1905.
It is just gorgeous, Fay; getting it in Israel makes it really special, how wonderful! I don't have a menorah. The place I used to buy cool things from in Israel - Gans - went out of business last year. I spent a small fortune (for me) right before they closed but it was for a couple wall hangings and several chamsas. I wish now I had gotten a menorah from them...I emailed one of their artists but never heard back.
That is completely badass. (If you know what I mean.)
