Symbolism
Shield:
The colour scheme of the arms is the one of Flanders Ancien and West-Flanders. This shows the attachment of the armiger to this region as well as his distant connection to Baldwin VI, count Count of Flanders and Hainaut.
The tincture of the field stands for the viola flower, the armiger's favourite flower and a symbol of remembrance and
religious knowledge. Also it alludes to the calm water on the shores of the North Sea and, to a lesser extent, the flax flower, the national flower of Flanders.
The horns are Canting for his name, Isaac, as well as his alias “Vlaanderram”, the Flemish ram. It also references the Binding of Isaac (Genesis 22:13) itself a symbol of both selfless sacrifice and religious zeal creating a paradox that appeals to the armiger. The horn is a ambiguous figure, to the armiger these are the horns of the ram Abraham sacrifices instead of his son, the arms medieval iconography attributed to Moses on mount Sinaï but hey are also the symbol of bestiality, a animal with horn is always perceived as more fierce than one without, showing the inherent bestiality of human nature and a certain primitivism needed to enact progress. The horn is also a symbol of the Shofar blown on Rosh H'odesh, symbolising the importance of the lunar cycle in the armiger's own mythology.
The bend counter-compony stands for Samson’s riddle “Out of the eater came something to eat, and out of the strong came something sweet.” (Judges 14:14). The gules for the blood of the lion (which is also a symbol of Flanders) and the gold for the honey (the bees are a symbol of fellowship). The choice of counter-compony also alludes to the armiger's willingness to step out of social norms; indeed, stripes in the middle ages were the symbol of outcasts (prostitutes, butcher, religious minorities), the division of the compony therefore evokes a ripped piece of stripped fabric as a liberation from an oppressive social status. Said counter-compony is also a symbol of his passion for strategy games such as chess.
Crest:
The Phrygian cap is a symbol of France and of the armiger's passion for History. Also, it is a symbol of Freedom. the use of a soft conic-shaped hat is also in reference to the infamous 'Jewish hat' as a way to reclaim a symbol of the Jews of Ashkenaz to make it a symbol of Jewish pride.
The crown of laurels stands for honour and glory and alludes to the antic subject in the academic arts of the XVIIIth century.
The crest as a whole is a representation of the armigers love for History and Art as well as a metaphor for the history of the
Jewish people that were slaves in Egypt and will be glorious once the messiah' arrives.

Blazon:
Nederlands: Over een potentiekruis en een potentieschuinkruis van goud, een shild van keel.
English: Upon a cross potent and a saltire potent all Or, An escutcheon Gules.
Symbolism: The escutcheon Gules references the arms of Douai (Nord,France) from which the patrilineal line of the ariger's originates; it's also a blood-stained shield symbolising the sacrifices to be made in order to achieve one's ambition and ideal. The cross potent is a reference to Jerusalem and Godfried van Bouillon. As one of the Nine Worthies, Godfried represents a certain ideal of chivalry, he is also a symbol of the might of the house of Vlaanderen. Jerusalem being the holy city, it's a reminder of the Armiger's faith. together with the saltire potent, the cross potent becomes a wheel to rebuild the Holy Temple but also the wheel worn by the jews of the Venetian ghetto, a contrasting symbol for the hopes and struggles of the Jewish people.

Blazon:
Nederlands: Een kokarde van groen en van zwart.
English A cocarde green and black.
Sybolism: Sable and Vert Are the lively colour of Flanders. The Cocarde is a traditional device to represent political allegiance that fits the theme of the armiger coat of arms that features a Phrygian cap. The green stands for the countryside as a symbol for the armiger's ideal of a decentralised government, it also alludes to the many canal that run across the Westhoek. The Black is a traditional mourning colour, it represents the lost territories of Flanders that are French and Dutch Flanders as well as well as the apparent failure of the political class, incapable of adressing modern issues in a satisfactory way. Black is also the symbol of activism, showing that the only way out is by the mean of the people.
