The most widespread graffito in Israel has to be the one about Rabbi Nachman of Breslov.
The mantra (written in Hebrew in the photo) is "Na, nach, nachma, Nachman me-Uman."
For the explanation of this phenomenon please see my earlier post, The Ubiquitous Nachman.
You can see more examples of graffiti in Jerusalem, including inside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre (!), under my label "graffiti."

At least this sort of graffiti has a story and some history behind... Thanks for the interesting link!
ReplyDeleteI wish the rabbi who taught the mantra just told his followers to recite it, rather than writing it too. I agree with VP, but the graffiti still defaces so many buildings and structures.
ReplyDeleteI can't help thinking about John Cleese here...
ReplyDeleteIt for sure is EVERYWHERE!!!!! But I kind of like it when they also add the little smiley with the chin curls ;-) Shabbat Shalom dear Dina♥
ReplyDeleteIf only it was an order to live harmoniously with one's neighbours
ReplyDeleteSuch an interesting space in the frame, how the ground curves upward--so cool.
ReplyDeleteFascinating to read the earlier post. I suppose this is graffiti with a meaning but I'd prefer the buildings without it and it's not art. Street art I like, graffiti and tags, no. Graffiti has always been a way to protest, make a voice heard, so perhaps I should be less intolerant when I see walls and buildings defaced.
ReplyDeleteThe beauty of the visual image of the Jewish language sort of takes away from the fact that it is a trespass.
ReplyDeleteGreat capture, Dina!
