A 17 year old, White Plains, NY teen was the cause of a US Airways Express Flight 'terroism' fright. The religious youth had not yet done his morning prayers with tefillin. So he attempted to do so, while the plane was in flight. However, crew feared that he was attempting to set a bomb in motion. The plane landed prematurely. But, matters were fairly quickly resolved. One rabbi felt that Jews should be sensitive to thecurrent state of affairs and not attempt to use tefillin on flights. Another rabbi bemoaned the fact that more people do not recognize tefillin and it's importance in many Jews' daily lives. - If you wish to share your thoughts regarding this, please send us an email at: thoughtsplus@JewsOnTheWeb.com

Jewish Artist Marc Chagall: An Icon in the World of Art
By: Shawna Ruppert
Marc Chagall Trivia is something that any art buff should brush up on as he is surely one of the more important artists of his generation, and his name is tied to several of the more important movements that occurred within the art world within his lifetime.
Starting at his life, you should know that Marc Chagall was born in 1887 and lived until 1985. He came from a Jewish family in Belarus which was a part of the larger empire of Russia when he was born. Chagall is an important figure in art history as well as in the cultural history of the Jewish people, and is considered one of the most important Jewish artists of his time.
Any Marc Chagall quiz could include questions about almost any form of art. Did you know that Chagall worked extensively in painting, illustrating, glass, set design, prints, textile art, and ceramics? He touched many different mediums, which has given him extremely broad appeal both due to the different mediums he worked in and the different stylistic choices that he explored
throughout his career.
Marc Chagall trivia could be mostly about the artistic movements that his name was tied to – but the most famous part of art history which is associated with Chagall is the trend of modernism. He is known for being able to unify elements from several previously existing artistic trends such as Cubism and Symbolism in order to help represent the new modernist movement that he was such a vital part of.
Did you know that one of the most famous quotes regarding Chagall was spoken by another of the legendary artists of the twentieth century? Pablo Picasso is quoted as having said that “When Matisse dies, Chagall will be the only painter left who understands what color really is”. The respect born for Chagall, even in his own time, shows how important and influential his work was; including the influence he would have on painters like Picasso.
Did you know that Chagall was as famous for his stained glass work as anything else? He was actually commissioned to create some of the more impressive examples of the form. St. Stephen's Church in Germany is one of his most famous works, and the only one in Germany, which was significant due to Chagall's Jewish Heritage. Another example of this kind of work is the Hadassah Ein Kerem hospital in Jerusalem.
