| Introduction | I am a contemporary Judaica designer. I studied BA Jewelry and Silversmithing in London and then moved to Israel what seems like a few days ago, but is actually 13 years. After apprenticing with a Yemenite jeweler in the old city of Jaffa I set up my own workshop, designing and creating my own Judaica designs. My range is based on a palette of shapes inspired by the sixties moon landings, and last year my "Apollo" mezuzah was taken to the International Space Station by Astronaut Greg Chamitoff. I am one of those lucky people that get to spend all day doing what feels like a hobby (except for all the paperwork!) |
