The Jerusalem Festival of Light 2012

The Jerusalem Festival of Light 2012

Light has its own presence. Beyond its practical functions, such as creating security, illuminating obstacles and marking passageways, light also enables the observer to perceive the city in a different manner. Through light one can rediscover the city’s lines, geography and strength. The preoccupation with light as raw material has developed rapidly over the past twenty years. This process has opened artists to a new world that integrates beauty, concept, abstraction and technology and includes a wide spread of possibilities and usages.
A large number of artists and groups of artists are discovering the unique quality of the integration of light as a creative element and not just a means to lighting works of art. The endeavors of innovative artists, the constant progression of technology and the change in perception of light’s role in urban landscape have led to the development of festivals that deal with decorative lighting and the research of the influence of light on urban space throughout the world

The Festival of Light in the Old City will provide through the use of light a dramatic and artistic dimension to the Old City’s nights. From the illumination of architecture to light statues, the festival will be a public and family oriented celebration that artists from different fields will partake in

Initiated by the Jerusalem Development Authority and Ariel Municipal Company, "Jerusalem Festival of Light" emphasized the role and perception of light in the urban setting. Artists from Israel and abroad took part in the festival and used light in order to create statues, installations, performances and artwork. The festival brought 250,000 visitors to the Old City and succeeded in introducing a new trend in Jerusalem nightlife and was targeted towards a wide range of the population. The festival included both displays of museum artwork and activities suitable to all audiences

The fourth edition of the Jerusalem Festival of Light will take place from June 6^th to 14th, 2012 in the Old City of Jerusalem. This year the festival has grown and will include ten international artists who will display the best artistic work in the field alongside dozens of performances, tours, artists, sites and more

The Festival takes place in the Old City of Jerusalem area, and its visitors (250,000 last year) perceive the artworks in the Festival walking through trails in the Old City's alleys, squares and its surrounding. Special attention has to be put on the sensibilities surrounding the Old City, as a Holy place for Judaism, Christianity and Islam. We avoid also political issues as the Festival concentrates on artistic presentations alone

Please Say Yes to Abba Yahweh and His Laws special in this time when Abba Yahweh is 'testing' us:

Hab 1:12 Art thou not mikedem (‘everlasting’ also said of Moshiach, indicating Moshiach’s eternal divine nature: Dan 7:14 And there was given Him (Moshiach) dominion, and honor, and sovereignty, that all people, Goyim, tongues, should pey-lammed-chet. [1](worship as deity) (see Dan 3:12, serve, reverence as deity Him (Moshiach). His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and His (Messianic) Kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.]see Michoh 5:1[2]; Yahweh Elohai (my Elohim) Kedoshi (my Holy One)? We shall not die. Yahweh, Thou hast appointed them (these Chaldean) for mishpat (ordinance); O Tzur, Thou hast ordained them (these Chaldean) for reproof.

(Please read the whole book of HaNavi Habakuk?)

Please take it serious what Abba Yahweh is telling us in:

Deu 18:15 Yahweh Eloheicha (your Elohim) will raise up unto thee a Navi (prophet) from among thee, of thy achim (bretheren), kamoni (like me Exo 32:30 The next day Moshe said to the people, "You have committed a terrible sin. Now I will go up to Yahweh; maybe I will be able to atone for your sin."); unto him ye must listen;

Deu 18:16 According to all that thou desired of Yahweh Eloheicha (your Elohimin) Chorev in the Yom HaKahal (day of the congregation), saying, Let me not hear again the voice of Yahweh Elohav (your Elohim), neither let me see this eish hagedolah (‘great fire’) any more, that I die not.

Deu 18:17 And Yahweh said unto me, They have well-spoken that which they have spoken.

Deu 18:18 I will raise them up a Navi (prophet) from among their achim (brethren), like unto thee, and will put My words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him [Yn 10:18].

Deu 18:19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not listen unto My words which he shall speak Bishmi (in My Name), I will require it of him.

Joh 8:28 Therefore, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, When you perform the hagbah (lifting up) of the Ben HaAdam, you will have da'as (knowledge) that Ani Hu [YESHAYAH 41:4; SHEMOT 3:14-16], and from myself I do nothing, but as HaAv (the Father) of me taught me, these things I speak.
