We went through the Moshe Castel Museum with the best guide possible, the CEO Eli Raz, and it is truly an amazing structure, overlooking the Jerusalem Hills, and filled with the works of one artist, unique in his use of letters of many ancient civilizations. 

There was surely something mystical in what his letters and figures in the paintings were saying but I was perhaps too tired to be impressed.  Perhaps I felt him pretentious.  Actually it was his earliest painting that most attracted me.

This means that he had genius in him, and my failure to connect with his later works may well have been a personal prejudice, or a grandiose direction he took.  The ‘guide’ Eli Raz, did everything possible to bring Castel  down to earth, and I would have loved to give him a delicate kiss.
