Israel Official State Medal "Tree of Life" 1985 Silver .999 UNC 15mm
Description:
The two best known trees in the Garden of Eden were the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge. The designer Asher Kalderon has designed a Tree of Life expressing renewal, vigor and breath of life. Its outline recalls the Star of David, and within are the words "The People of Israel Lives", a prayer and hope for eternal life. As the infant grows into childhood, it begins to taste of the Tree of Knowledge, to study the alphabet and the Torah, of which it is written "It is the Tree of Life for Those who Adhere to it". The letters of the Hebrew alphabet appear to be dancing.
