Yad LaKashish: Lifeline for the Old
not only offers one-stop shopping
for beautiful, gently-priced, handmade jewelry, candlesticks, menorahs
and other quality crafts, but at the
same time you’ll be performing a
mitzvah (charitable act) since this
non-profit organization provides
approximately 300 of Jerusalem’s
needy elderly and disabled a sense
of purpose through creative work
opportunities.
Located in the Musrara neighborhood
of Old Jerusalem, the small shack
which was originally used as the
bookbindery has grown into an
impressive complex, offering daily
workshops in ceramics, metalwork,
embroidery, silk painting, woodwork,
papier-mâché and much more.
Standouts include colorful Ethiopian
clay mobiles, recycled paper
stationery and very cool handmade metal Star of David necklaces,
which are also available online

a tour where you’ll be able to meet
these inspiring artisans and see
their work works-in-progress. Email
