The Black Menorah first came to my imagination in 2004. At first I drew it in my notebooks and painted it on my clothes. In 2010 I created the mosaic. In 2014 I refurbished the mosaic and grouted it with glitter grout. Thats also when the story-poem came to me. I wrote the poem in three daysthose three nights I had nightmares. I was visited by a very angry and ugly demon. I think of the black menorah as a symbol of my faith, more than the cross or Star of David. What is the black menorah? It is a shadow of whats to come. What does the black menorah mean? It stands as a testament that good will always prevail over evil, that light will always conquer darkness, and the next right decision will always be better than the next wrong decision. Simply putdont give up.
