Raphael is the third generation from his family to embrace the arts. Inspired by his Mother, Malla, at an early age to paint weave and make linocuts, Raphael is now a known artist with a distinctive modern style. After serving in the Israeli army, Raphael studied industrial design and fine mechanics at a Jerusalem technical school. He worked in plastics and metalsmithing, but eventually decided to concentrate on the making of Judaica in fine woods and sterling silver for home and synagogue. Malla designs the lettering for many of his crafted Jewish ceremonial objects.
