Joseph Ohayon grew up surrounded by the beauty of Israel, where craftsmanship and tradition go hand in hand. From a young age, he was drawn to working with natural materials, especially olive wood, which has been a symbol of peace and resilience in Jewish culture for centuries. Inspired by the landscapes of his homeland and ancient traditions of Judaism, he dedicated himself to creating handcrafted Judaica that carries meaning beyond its form.
Each piece is shaped with care, blending classic Jewish symbols with a modern touch. Joseph works with the natural grain of the wood, allowing its unique patterns to shine through, making every mezuzah, menorah, and ritual object truly one of a kind. His designs are simple yet elegant, honoring tradition while fitting seamlessly into contemporary Jewish homes.
Joseph’s workshop is in Israel, where he sources high quality materials and carves each piece with a deep sense of purpose. His work reflects a lifelong commitment to preserving Jewish heritage, creating objects that bring a sense of connection to faith, to family, and to the land itself. His Judaica is meant to be used, cherished, and passed down, carrying stories from one generation to the next.
