「What is ”Shoresh-i ”?
title

“Shoresh-i” is the “Roots of Ishai”. “Shoresh” is “Roots (of plants)” in Hebrew, which also means “Roots (origin)”. “i” is the initial letter of “ishai” . “ishai” is a romanization of the Hebrew “Isahi” , the father of King David in the Old testment. “ishai (ישי)” in Hebrew has “shin (ש)” (used to connect sentences in Modern Hebrew) between “yud (י)” and “yud (י)”

In the logo mark, the country name of both Japan (Yapan ”יפן” in Hebrew) and Israel (ישראל) begin with Yud (י) in Hebrew (in which letters are written from right to left), and both countries are connected by “ishai” in the Rising Sun.

The logo symbolizes the hope that we will deeply understand the roots of Japan and Israel and strengthen the bond between the two countries from a Japanese viewpoint.
