I have shown the birthday boy holding his phone in one hand and a pencil in the other. There is a drawing nearby (I took a guess at the kind of thing 15 year old boys like to draw) and some pencils and coloured paper. Finally I added his red bike. A big number 15 marks his age.
His mum said he loved the card.
Sara was turning 16. She likes baking, goes running sometimes and is a madricha (youth counsellor) in Bnei Akiva, the largest religious Zionist youth movement in the world.
I checked with her mum what uniform she wears and was told it is a white shirt, which Sara always wears with the sleeves rolled up just above the elbow. She also has a blue lace at the neck of her shirt called a שרוך הדרכה, a kind of aiguillette, which indicates that she is a counsellor.
I have shown brown-haired Sara in her white shirt. She is busy baking, with a blue spatula in her hand. Her grey and pink Nike running shoes are nearby.
Mum wrote to tell me that "Sara LOVES the card".

Yonatan was celebrating his 17th birthday. His mum asked for a card showing him wearing a light blue paper mask. In the background she wanted me to include the Lamed Israeli learner driver plate. The plate shows a white triangle pointing upwards on a blue background, with the black Hebrew letter "ל" in it, from the Hebrew למידה - "Learning". She also requested the Tzofim (Hebrew Scouts) symbol, since he too is a madrich (youth counsellor). In addition she wanted me to add the symbol for כושר קרבי , or combat fitness, a fitness class which prepares pre-army kids for the level of physical fitness and military skills required of a combat soldier.
I have shown Yonatan wearing his beige Scouts shirt and his blue "coronavirus" mask. All the requested symbols surround him and a big red number 17 marks his age.
Mum loved the card.
