The concept of the sculpture "The Star of Liberty" is based on the form of the star of David. The Star of David or "Magen David" symbolizes the hope and the strength of Judaism - therefore a sign of liberty for millions around the world. During the 19th century the symbol began to spread amongst the Jewish communities of Eastern Europe. Now it is part of the flag of Israel on which it was adopted. The concept is modelled in form of an endless band plastically closely connected creating the outline of a star. The band spirals dynamically around the opening in the middle of the sculpture. The plentitude of facets which are in this way created, symbolically stand for a plural and heterogeneous society. The Bronze concept bases on the monumental lime stone sculpture "The Star of Liberty" which stands in front of the New Synagogue in Maalot.
