This images shows a dove of peace flying over Jerusalem.  The artist wanted to illustrate the beautiful homecoming of Ethiopian Jewry to Israel from Operation Solomon.  Operation Solomon (May 1991): This was a record-breaking, non-stop airlift that took place over a remarkable 36-hour period from May 24-25, 1991. With the backdrop of Ethiopia's civil war and advancing rebel forces, 35 Israeli aircraft, including El Al Boeing 747s stripped of their seats, transported 14,325 Ethiopian Jews directly from Addis Ababa to Israel. One of the 747s set a world record for the most passengers on a single aircraft flight, carrying at least 1,088 people

Riky Rothenberg was born in Kfar Saba Israel and studied painting at the Renamin School of Art in Tel Aiv.  Rothenberg studied the Cajamarca painting technique during a long stay in Peru, where she was a pupil of the famous Indian artist Dona Rosa.  Rothenberg is a mother of five and lives and works outside of Jerusalem.  her work is represented in many private and public collections in Israel, the United States, and South America.
Her work...The artist, a passionate student of Kabbalah,  expresses in images the knowledge in which faith meets poetry and philosophy allies with prophecy.  The leitmotif of Rothenberg's work is the unique spirituality of Jerusalem, and its hallmark, an ecstatic atmosphere of glory and splendor, sorrow and hope, yearning and achievement, awe and joy.  Rothenberg's body of work is the mystical quest.  Jerusalem is a famous city filled with spirituality. In a flamboyant, polychromatic style, marshalling a multi-evocative set of religious symbols Rothenberg's paintings convey a durable message of love for God and faith in human destiny.
