Hebrew Shin Torah Finials, silver, 23K gold, 13.5” x 9.5” 3.5” Photo By: emiko oye The Hebrew Shin Torah Finials symbolize the power and beauty of creation—Oneness in the Universe—hearing light, creating connectivity and partnership, drawing forth restoration, sharing wisdom and consolation.

I am pleased to introduce a new series of mezuzot– called ‘Waves of Love.‘ The design was inspired by our dear Rabbi– Danny Gottlieb, who is becoming Rabbi Emeritus– at our temple, Beth Israel Judea. Rabbi Gottlieb has meant a lot to me personally. He was never too busy to speak with me about my Judaica, Jewish teachings or personal…
Since the beginning of my life– long before I turned to metal art for expression, I knew that we were lucky to be alive. And, I felt tasked with carrying on Jewish traditions in the face of anti-semitism. Growing up Jewish in Los Angeles, every year at our annual Passover seder, our Holocaust Surviving grandmother and grandfather would raise a…

I became an artist because of the deep injustices in the systems of the world towards those who are deemed “other..” In fact my first mezuzot were a testament to the suffering of my grandparents during the Holocaust. Before the incident with George Floyd, but in the recent rise of racist and anti-Semitic attacks in the U.S. my father and…
These are sad times indeed. I am so fortunate to be alive and able to work from home right now. I really want to give to people less fortunate than me. I believe that if I (along with all of humanity) gives in the way they are able— there will be balance in the world. In Judaism, this concept…
