Yom Yerushalayim clay and mosaic framework

 יום ירושלים, Yom Yerushalayim, is an Israeli national holiday commemorating the reunification of Jerusalem and the establishment of Israeli control over the Old City in June 1967. The Chief Rabbinate of Israel declared Jerusalem Day a minor religious holiday to thank God for victory in the Six-Day War and for answering the 2,000-year-old prayer of "Next Year in Jerusalem".  
Yom Yerushalayim begins in the Diaspora on: Sat, 19 May 2012 at sundown (28th of Iyyar, 5772)
Frameworks of modeling clay with a view of Jerusalem.  


The frame is made with mosaic tiles. Give the children a piece of clay and make a rectangle of it, then draw with the children (while the older ones can drawn by themselves),engraving with the tip end of a pencil, a view of Jerusalem. Paint with white acrylic paint and then glue the mosaic tiles to do the frame, pressing  well into the clay. Once dry (leave it overnight in the open air) retraced the outlines of the drawing with the colors of your choice . If you like glue the picture on a thin wood base or support.
