Their unique personal styles, artistic know-how and affinity to Jewish and Israeli culture combine to create the rich, one of a kind professional and personal mosaic evident in the vibrant collection of items the store offers.

Jacob defines every day at the Museum as part of an ongoing history lesson that continuously deepens his understanding and appreciation of the Judaica artwork available at the store. He is especially gifted at helping customers find just the right piece for any occasion. In addition Jacob is responsible for selecting and photographing the items for the new online store.

Ronit’s experience as a photographer provides the unique perspective and vision required for curating the store’s unique collection. Her selections are always made with great care, love, and a specific intention to provide a spotlight for a variety of (mostly Israeli) artists.
Leah Weidenfeld
Leah has been working at the Museum since 1979. For many years she was responsible for printing the thousands of photographs displayed in numerous exhibits at the Museum. In 1995 she moved on from the photography department to the gift shop and has been managing it with great joy ever since. Her love of esthetics and even more so, of people, has led to the creation of the ‘Little Shop of Beauty’ along with the other staff members.
