Israeli Enamel on Iron Street Sign: Rehov Ba'al-Nes (1948)
About the Item
This enamel-on-iron street sign, produced in Israel in 1948, bears the name "Rehov Ba'al-Nes" in Hebrew (רח' מאיר בעל-נס) and transliterated into Latin script as "Rehov Ba'al-Nes." The sign is dedicated to Rabbi Meir Ba'al Ha-Nes (רבי מאיר בעל הנס), a revered Jewish sage from the 2nd century CE. The inclusion of the phrase "ע"ש רבי מאיר בעל-נס" (in honor of Rabbi Meir Ba'al-Nes) further clarifies the dedication. This style of signage, characterized by blue lettering on a white enamel background with a bold border, was common in early Israeli street signs.
Who Was Rabbi Meir Ba’al Ha-Nes?
Rabbi Meir Ba’al Ha-Nes (literally "Rabbi Meir the Miracle Worker") was a prominent Tannaic sage in the Mishnah period, living in the 2nd century CE. He was a student of Rabbi Akiva and a contemporary of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai. His teachings are frequently cited in the Talmud, and he played a key role in Jewish legal discourse.
The title "Ba’al Ha-Nes" (Master of Miracles) is attributed to a legend in which he miraculously saved his sister-in-law from Roman captivity by invoking divine assistance. Jewish tradition holds that he was buried in Tiberias, Israel, and his tomb remains a site of pilgrimage, especially among Sephardic and North African Jewish communities. His name is often invoked for blessings and protection, and charitable institutions bearing his name have been historically established to aid those in need.
This street sign is part of the Israeli tradition of naming streets after significant historical and religious figures, reflecting both national heritage and deep-rooted Jewish traditions.
