Elisha likes football and especially Liverpool Football Club, mum told me. He
is also into Rubik's cube, reading, and Fanta Orange. She sent me some photos
of Elisha and said that she liked the blue background I had used on
Jack's album.
I have shown Elisha wearing tefillin on his head and on his left arm. He is
right-handed, so wears tefillin on the bicep of his left arm. The
tefillin box worn on his head is centered just above the forehead, with the
two leather straps wrapped around the head, then hanging down over his
shoulders.
He has a Rubik's cube in one hand and a football in the other hand. Next to
him is a Fanta Orange and a small pile of books.
Behind Elisha is the Liverpool F.C. badge. The bird on the Liverpool crest is
the Liver bird, a mythical creature that also serves as the iconic symbol of
the city of Liverpool. The Liver bird has been representative of Liverpool for
over 800 years and appears on the city's arms.
Elisha's name appears in gold letters at the top in English and Hebrew. The
year of his Bar Mitzvah is at the bottom.
Five pages inside the album also cover Elisha's various interests. The first
page shows the Liverpool F.C. badge once again and I added a red and white
striped football scarf as well. Then I made a black and white football and
put it in front of a goal. Apparently this type of football first got its
famous black and white markings for the
1970 World Cup
in Mexico. According to the adidas website, this ball was called the Telstar
and was developed to help people see the ball more clearly while watching on
television.
Another page in Elisha's album shows a can of Fanta Orange, along with an orange and a tiny slice. I then cut out a hand holding a Rubik's cube and, lastly, crafted some little books to illustrate his love of reading.
Mum was delighted when she received the album and said it was beautiful!

Elisha was supposed to celebrate his Bar Mitzvah in October but, as I am sure you know, war broke out here in Israel on the first Shabbat of that month. I hope he was ultimately able to mark his special day in some way.

I love to see all the different interests on these albums; you go to so much effort with them. I really hope that Elisha has managed to celebrate his Bar Mitzvah now. xx
Every teen is a unique mixture of talents and interests. You capture those very different elements beautifully.
You did a wonderful job creating the album for this family. It turned out great.

Such a talent you have, Lisa.
Thank you for sharing at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2024/02/le-hostellerie-des-trois-pigeons.html
I was completely in love with this apart from the Liverpool FC badge, lol. I live in Birmingham so support Aston Villa like Tom Hanks and Prince William :) Seriously though, I love the beautiful personal details you put into all of your work and I'm sure the recipient will be delighted.
I love looking at your new cards. I'd never heard of tefillin so I learnt something new from your post too :o)
