About the Book
I spent two weeks in Israel in June 2024.
The first week was spent making art with members of the kibbutz (Kissufim) community with whom I lived back in the 1970’s, and who since October 7 have been living in a hotel at the Dead Sea.
During the second week of my visit, I painted a mural at Kibbutz Kissufim.
This book chronicles with pictures and commentary of both experiences and everything that came in between.

About the Creator
Jonathan Franklin
Oak Park, IL
As an artist for over forty odd years, my biggest gig so far has been as the official White House Portraitist. During the past two years, I have had the privilege of painting our DearLeader over a couple dozen times looking his authoritarian best in all kinds of remarkable settings. And now, after much anticipation, I have finally assembled those paintings into a 48 page full-color book that includes personal commentaries, as well. It has been truly an inspiration to be so close and present with the man with the golden touch, who in every sense of the phrase, is Making America Great Again.
