Samantha reached out because she had seen the custom hand painted tallitot I had designed for the clergy of Temple Emanuel in Beverly Hills and had a very special project in mind. Her Bat Mitzvah girl, Shayna, needed a bespoke tallit that could become an heirloom for future generations. Shayna's older brother had received a tallis passed down from their grandfather for his Bar Mitzvah and Shayna needed a custom tallit made just for her that was just as meaningful and unique. Challenge accepted! 

One of the hardest for me about being a Jew in the Diaspora in the last two years has been the feeling of helplessness.  I spent the last few weeks on a volunteer trip to Israel organized by the Jewish Federation of Los Angeles and Birthright Israel. It was an absolutely incredible experience. This opportunity to get my hands dirty and physically contribute even in the smallest tangible ways to Israel’s recovery was a huge boost to my spirits and morale.

Jana and Danny are the definition of a real New York couple, both of their families have been in NYC for generations. For their wedding ceremony venue, they chose the Museum at Eldridge Street. This magical place is a truly breathtaking former synagogue, which as recently been restored and now functions as a museum to Jewish life on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. And so the inspiration for their one of a kind hand painted ketubah was born.
