Mister Handmade in Israel's co-worker, Shai, is a Hapoel Tel Aviv superfan. Hapoel Tel Aviv is an Israeli football club based in Tel Aviv that competes in the 2nd division, the Liga Leumit. Bizarrely, Shai is also a keen Leeds United supporter, despite the fact that he has no connections to the UK or any family living there!
I have shown Shai wearing his red Hapoel Tel Aviv shirt. Behind him is a picture of Bloomfield Stadium, Hapoel Tel Aviv's home ground. I added the Leeds United badge in the top right of the card. The badge is based on the City of Leeds coat of arms and features the White Rose of York, which is a symbol of Yorkshire. In the left corner of the card I added a computer with the Clalit logo on the screen.
The Hebrew greeting on the card simply says "Toda Shai", "Thank you Shai".

Good luck to husbands co-worker with retiring.
Congratulations to the gentleman retiring. Another great card. #MMBC
Oh I hope he has a wonderful retirement! That is a lovely card to send him on his way.
There is something rugged and healthy-looking about footballers. Shai doesn't look old enough to retire :)
Happy retirement to Shai! I often hear about English football club fans from other countries, it seems to be loved worldwide.
What a wonderful keepsake for the new retiree! Wishing him all the best as new adventures await!
This is such a thoughtful and well-crafted farewell card. Every detail—from the football references to the Clalit logo—shows how much care went into personalizing it for Shai. It’s clear you captured not only his interests but also the appreciation of his colleagues. A wonderful way to mark the end of a chapter.
