The Artistic Team

Art Chazin has initiated a fascinating and novel project in the realm of art and Torah: A stunning edition of the Five Books of the Torah inscribed on parchment paper. All elucidations were compiled by Rabbi Yonah Weinreb and are accompanied with original illustrations painstakingly created by veteran artists of Art Chazin, with the purpose of clarifying the material and presenting the subject matter in an intriguing and understandable fashion.  Art Chazin commenced this innovative project Five years ago and is now concluding its first masterpiece, The Illuminated Torah: Book of Exodus.  The original masterpiece printed with limited edition of 613 copies. Paper copies printed on high quality art bound.

In this historic endeavor on The Illuminated Torah, Rabbi Weinrib is working closely with a skilled team from ArtChazin in Israel, headed by Avraham Chazin. This international collaboration has drawn upon the multi-faceted talents of a team of artists and craftsmen dedicated to traditional motifs and style, combined with contemporary art techniques. By merging traditional methods of artistic execution and design, with state-of-the art production technology, the final product is a synthesis of both worlds. In a staggering array of media, watercolor, gouache, acrylic, pen and ink, airbrush and laser cuts have been used to reflect the multi-dimensional layers of interpretation used in the Torah project.
