I decided to create a book from scratch \u2013 designing it, forming the concept, choosing the format, the fonts and the images as well as the type of paper. I even made the book cover myself using several techniques and stitched and bound it by hand. In a digital age, I wanted to go back to the fundamentals and create a book whose pages cannot be swiped with a finger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to choose a subject, I looked at my family and surroundings. I wanted to choose a personal subject that would also be relevant and timely. This led me to the idea of writing about current Israeli society from a historical and personal perspective, using the writings of my great-grandmother, the late Hanna Bavly, who was nicknamed \u201cIsrael\u2019s Miss Manners.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"860\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/noa5-860x600.jpg\" alt=\"Noa5\" class=\"wp-image-158887\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/noa5-860x600.jpg 860w, https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/noa5-300x209.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/noa5-768x536.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/noa5-1536x1071.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/noa5-2048x1429.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Hanna Bavly visiting a chemical plant in South Africa, photo courtesy of Noa Bavly<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The production of the book required extensive and serious cultural and historical research. In my research I went to the National Library of Israel. Searching for books on manners and etiquette, I found an American book from the 1980s (<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nli.org.il\/en\/books\/NNL_ALEPH990012577460205171\/NLI\" class=\"ek-link\">The New Etiquette<\/a><\/em> by Marjabelle Young Stewart,&nbsp;St. Martin&#8217;s Press) and took it out. Upon opening the book, on the inside cover, was a surprise. An outstretched hand from the past. In the first page of the book was an inscription that noted the book had once been a part of my great-grandmother Hanna Bavly\u2019s personal collection (she had hundreds of books on the subject), and was donated to the National Library by her son after her death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"869\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/noa9-869x600.jpg\" alt=\"Noa9\" class=\"wp-image-158878\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/noa9-869x600.jpg 869w, https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/noa9-300x207.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/noa9-768x531.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/noa9-1536x1061.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/noa9-2048x1415.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 869px) 100vw, 869px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Noa Bavly was surpised to learn that the book she had loaned from the National Library of Israel (<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nli.org.il\/en\/books\/NNL_ALEPH990012577460205171\/NLI\" class=\"ek-link\">The New Etiquette<\/a><\/em> by Marjabelle Young Stewart,&nbsp;St. Martin&#8217;s Press) was donated to the NLI by her own great-grandmother, Hanna Bavly<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But as I said, Hanna Bavly&#8217;s meticulous manners were just a starting point for a timely and relevant statement. The book I designed focuses on manners\u2014or more precisely\u2014the lack of manners in Israeli society. It draws a line between the iconic figure of Hanna Bavly (whose name became synonymous with manners and etiquette) and contemporary Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"870\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/noa10-870x600.jpg\" alt=\"Noa10\" class=\"wp-image-158893\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/noa10-870x600.jpg 870w, https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/noa10-300x207.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/noa10-768x530.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/noa10-1536x1059.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/noa10-2048x1413.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Hanna Bavly was Israel&#8217;s leading expert on etiquette and manners.

The third chapter however, which contrasts Hanna&#8217;s polite advice with Israeli reality, is designed in a wild style reminiscent of trashy tabloids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I designed the book in a way that recalled Hanna\u2019s columns &#8211; just like Hanna, I too decided that a serious message can best be conveyed with a healthy dose of humor. I kept the original titles and Q&amp;As of Hanna Bavly&#8217;s columns and incorporated them in my book ironically. This choice contributes to the critical, ironic and amusing language of the book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/noa2-900x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-158890\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/noa2-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/noa2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/noa2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/noa2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/noa2-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Hanna Bavly is Rolling in Her Grave<\/em>, by Noa Bavly<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The book <em>Hanna Bavly is Rolling in Her Grave<\/em> is my final project for the Department of Visual Communication at Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem.
