Or Shalom Jewish Community waited a long time before finally having their own worship space. Now that they are beginning to settle into their new home– I worked with them to create their very own custom mezuzah– one for their doorpost, and limited production mezuzahs and pins that were offered as part of the annual fundraiser. We used their new logo and branding as the central design force behind the pieces. Our goal was to commemorate this milestone and give the community something unique, beautiful and tangible as Or Shalom enters this new phase. We will finally be consecrating the new space Saturday, June 9th at 11 am.
Here are some of the progress pictures that went into making their new Judaic art:
The final result is cast in pewter and was offered as part of the annual fundraiser.:
The mezuzah holds a 10 cm scroll.
Here’s the invitation information for the consecration. Registration required:
