@spejo5 believes this book came out in the 1960’s… any ideas? #whatsthatbook #vintagechildrensbooks

Passover shop update is up and running! It is a day before Purim and there are hamentaschen baking about 5 feet away as I type but I’m over here thinking about Passover! I’ve updated my shop with Moon Phase Seder plates and more. To that end, I’m excited to share the final products of a design I presented a couple of weeks back. The “Under the Moon Afikomen bag” was made specially for @ishfestival. They are selling these pouches along with more great seasonal goodies in their Spring Holiday box (check their bio). You can order the pouch solo or a print with the same design here. More about the concept below. Thanks to all who offered text ideas for the final design— there were so many thoughtful contributions. As promised, @modern_ritual and @spejo5 will receive a pouch as a gift for their winning (and lovely) offerings of text that went on the final piece! About the afikomen bags: Hand drawn phases of the moon are embroidered in an array of color on a cream color canvas zippered pouch. Size is 9.25” x 7”, to fit a 1/2 piece of standard boxed matzah (a generous half piece measures to 6.75” x 4”). Thread colors are deep green, burnt orange, mustard yellow, raspberry sorbet, rob’s egg blue, soft lavender and dark lavender. I made this piece specially for Ish Cincinnati  <https://www.ishfestival.org/>and am glad to be selling them in my shop as well. The sentiment I hope to convey is how in Jewish life, we pass our rituals and traditions from generation to generation. With each year that passes, we repeat the same physical rituals time and again, while we (miraculously I think) make them anew with each new year, and with each generation. More in comments. The text says: הישן יתחדש והחדש יתקדש ולפני ירח דור דורים In English: the old becomes new, the new becomes holy (Rav Kook) before the moon for generations upon generations. (From psalm 72:5)
