Notability Biography date June 2010 Tamy BenTor born in 1975, Jerusalem is one of a number of prominent female artists inventing characters and playing them herself, her work combines performance with photography and or video. Prominent in this important lineage of artists are Claude Cahun , Eleanor Antin , Martha Wilson, and Cindy Sherman . Her themes draw on the social observation of daily life and gender roles, but dig with more risky commentary into issues relating to Jewishness and Israel, her country of origin where she graduated from The School of Visual Theatre. Graduating from Columbia University s MFA Program in 2006, she lives and works in New York and shows with Zach Feuer Gallery. Her work belongs to a generation of artists that use absurdity and humor to comment on serious ideas. Underlying her outlandish caricatures and purposefully lowtech artifice of minimal make up and settings, is a fusion of illusion and a stupid smart whiplash arriving at unexpected views into the complexity of the human condition.

Nahash was the name of a king of Ammon nation Ammon , mentioned in the Books of Samuel . In the Bible , Nahash appears abruptly as the attacker of Jabesh Gilead , which lay outside the territory he laid claim to. Having subjected the occupants to a siege , the population sought terms for surrender, and were told by Nahash that they had a choice of death by the sword or having their right eye gouged out. The population obtained seven days grace from Nahash, during which they would be allowed to seek help from the Israelites , after which they would have to submit to the terms of surrender. The occupants sought help from the Kingdom of Israel united monarchy Kingdom of Israel , sending messengers to Saul the King Saul , and he responded by sending an army that decisively defeated Nahash and his cohorts. The strangely cruel terms given by Nahash for surrender were explained by Josephus as being the usual practice of Nahash. A more complete explanation has more recently come to light although not present in either the Septuagint or masoretic text , an introductory passage, preceding this narrative, was found in a copy of the Books of Samuel among the Dead Sea Scrolls ref Qumran cave 4, to be precise ref N ahash, king of the children of Ammon, sorely oppressed the children of Gad and the children of Reuben, and he gouged out a ll their right eyes and struck ter ror and dread in Israel.
