About the Item
Mid-20th century handmade Israeli street name sign. Made of enamel and iron, this street sign was created shortly after the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948. The sign is written in bolt blue letters over a white background, alluding to the colors of the national flag of the newly established state. The sign names the street 'Bar Kokhba' in Israel in both Hebrew and English letters. (In transliteration), as well as in Arabic.
Simon ben Koseba or Cosiba (Hebrew: שִׁמְעוֹן בַּר כֹסֵבָא, romanized: Šīmʾōn bar Ḵōsēḇaʾ; died 135 CE), commonly known as Bar Kokhba (Hebrew: שִׁמְעוֹן בַּר כּוֹכְבָא, romanized: Šīmʾōn bar Kōḵḇāʾ), was a Jewish military leader who led the Bar Kokhba revolt against the Roman Empire in 132 CE. The revolt established a three-year-long independent Jewish state in which Bar Kokhba ruled as nasi ("prince").Some of the rabbinic scholars in his time imagined him to be the long-expected Messiah. Bar Kokhba was killed by the Romans in the fortified town of Betar.
