    I'd think written in Latin American Spanish which would explain ustedes vs. vosotros (i.e. the formal vs. informal plural "you.") What one would expect as that's what's taught in U.S. schools.

    Could be Jesus with the Elders. Luke 2: 42-52

    The inscription is inconsistent with the passage (or so it seems to me), but it was clearly added later and may simply be some other quote.

    I don't think JC would be pictured in the way this young person appears.

    Interesting tidbit. There IS a gift inscription I just noticed - "Judy and Edwin from Arlen?" at the bottom of the paper covering the reverse.

    How is this plaque different from all other plaques?

    The inscription is a rhyming couplet, so suspect there is a literary source. It's labeled in Spanish, but signed in English: Judy and Edwin from Helen. Maybe Helen brought back to friends Judy & Helen after a trip to...Spain? Israel? Bezalel?

    Isn't that maybe the father & the white haired man the rabbi? Does look Chasidic or other very orthodox sect.

    Close to sunset here. All this atoning is so exhausting.

    Unless he's wearing a zucchetto, I don't think he's a father. :D
