happy passover from the farkash gallery

The Farkash Gallery wishes you a Happy Passover!

At the heart of the Passover celebration—whether in Israel or anywhere around the world—lies the story of the Exodus: the liberation of the Jewish people from slavery in ancient Egypt. It represents our ancestors’ struggles and serves as a timeless reminder of the power of faith, resilience, and the strength of community.

One of the earliest and most dramatic artistic interpretations of this story appears in a rare 1920s Passover wine poster from Eretz Israel. In it, Moses is not only a prophet but a symbol of victory. He raises a glass of Carmel Mizrahi wine, made from the vineyards of the land of Israel, in a gesture of triumph. Opposite him, Pharaoh sits slumped and broken, with his dead son at his side—a striking allusion to the final plague.

Created to promote Carmel Winery, Israel’s first and still-largest winery, the poster blends biblical imagery with the early Zionist spirit, celebrating both physical and spiritual freedom through the fruit of the land.

The first and best-known name for Passover is Chag HaHerut—the Holiday of Freedom. We will remind all those who continually threaten us: we are here—and we are free.
Am Yisrael Chai.

Happy Passover — Chag Sameach!
