Artist Yair Emanuel,a graduate of the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design,
lives and works in Jerusalem. Yair Emanuel Born in Kibbutz Sha'alavim,
he grew up in Jerusalem in an Orthodox home and later in life adopted a
more pluralistic approach to Judaism. This background influenced Yair
Emanuel's style of Judaic Art, which is based upon a fusion of traditional
motifs and ancient Jewish manuscripts with modern and oriental art.
Vivid and harmonious colors as well as mixture of old and new
characterize Emanuel's work, which is designed and crafted in his
Jerusalem studio.

Contemporary designer Laura Cowan began
her career in London creating futuristic
jewelery pieces. She now brings her unique
ideas to the field of Judaica, working from her
design studio and workshop in Tel Aviv.
“My recent work is based on a rocket shape. I
was inspired by the Sixties mission to land a
man on the moon. Although this was
achieved even before I was born, I was
fascinated by the hype and excitement
generated by the race to the moon. I also
loved the irony of a futuristic design based on
what is now history.”
Laura's fresh ideas contribute to a new wave
of exciting Judaica design, shaking up the
traditional market and generating worldwide
interest. Her work is exhibited in galleries
and museums worldwide - America, Canada,
Israel, England, Italy, Sweden and Australia.
