Jewish artist

Well, as I was exploring the Israeli artist, get to know them, looking them in their places, and learn about their  Israeli and Jewish art, I found out that they are really true with tier self, they go to the end with their mind and feelings.
It is not so easy to do Jewish art because there are no really lots of people that are indorsed in this world. So you need to make your living of something.
Well, this entire introduction is to tell you that I met Israeli artist who decide to live the city life and live in a small moshav near Jerusalem. it was not so easy, but she did it and now she open the window , see the Judah m mountain and can easy create her Jewish and Israeli art.

kiddush cup for all

Times were not easy. The art man was a busy. His friend broke his hand and the art man was called to take care of his farm. It was a long Week that we didn’t met. When we met, he smiled and said "I'm the king". I did not understand him and what he wants
Then in the evening, in front of the Judean mountain he told me his story
He went hard on the farm of a friend, took his goats to pasture and suddenly saw an olive tree next to a piece of severed branch.
He took the branch, worked on it and finally produced a special kiddush cup from which he poured me a cup of kings.
That was the magic of the art man – the judaica art is not only in his studio – it is in his heart
Good night
