Photo: A yellow garment, the color that has been associated with Jews from the 8th century (CE, common era) through the medieval period. The model in the picture is wearing yellow, presenting a modern interpretation of the Judenhut—the hat Jews were forced to wear in the 13th century. The illustration was made by Roei by using graphic design and AI software.
