 * Image:Einsof.gif ([ history] · [ last edit]) from . This image on the website appears to come from the "Symbols of the Kabbalah" book here . This could be on the public domain anyways because it's a faithful reproduction of a very old symbol. Other "ein sof" images found on google, for comparison . Looking at the Ein_Sof article, it could be based on a Middle Ages work Enric Naval (talk) 14:00, 20 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Enric, I'm unsure whether I should resond on this page, but here goes. I used image 4, but worked it up, basing my design on a particular medieval kabbalistic concept. It looks as though image 1 may have used similar sources, though I couldn't say for sure. I notice, though, that that has Hebew on all the white ring, which mine doesn't. However, I think I've come up with a solution - to put the Hebrew into English, esp. because more people will understand that abafied (talk) 16:00, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I've put up the gif. now as ein_sof_1. It's redrawn, with English titles and for free use, so I hope it complies with Wikipedia requirements. It's on the page for Z'ev ben Shimon Halevi.

 * Image:1811494 9AvnN-M.jpg and Image:1811491 e93dQ-M.jpg ([ history] · [ last edit]) - Image has a PD tag and a fair use tag which are clearly incompatible. It appears to be from a US soldier but the source claims copyright and I'm not familiar enough with US copyright law to understand if anything taken by a US soldier when they are on service is public domain or images taken for their personal use while off duty for example may not be].
