Postcard: Purim at Jaffa Port IV
[Posted: 2026-02-13 19-28 UTC±0] 

Painting in watercolour and ink lines, a scene from a cafe. On the left is a coffee machine with a lot of paper cups on top. On the right is a guy with curly hair and a beard, in a striped t-shirt, filling a cup with coffee. He has elf ears, so as the lady on the left, with long peach-pink hair. Behind her ear is a purple butterfly. She's on the front of the cafe, and is giving something to the customer off-scene. The painting is signed "Michael Vokabre 2025 5785 Acre, Jaffa Port Container House Tel Aviv Jaffa Cafe Blue".

A composite scan of the postcard, below is the painting described before. It's below because the postcard is turned 90 degrees to the left. Where the address goes superimposed is the front of the postcard, a photo of Shimon Rudolf "Rudi" Weissenstein of a kiosk in Tel Aviv selling grape juice, a boy drinking a glass of it. To the right are two stamps. The stamp above is a 8.50 stamp from the series "International Mail From Eretz Israel" signed "Airmail" depicting a tri-engined biplane above Kinneret aka Lake Tiberias placed on top of a reprint of an old postcard with the lake Kinneret. The stamp below is a 5.00 stamp from the series "Embroidery in Eretz Israel" signed "Judaica Embroidery" with an embroidered sight of Machpella Cave in Hebron.
