Amit,

Every year when I come to Israel one of the first stops I make is to your stall at Nachalat Benymin. I LOVE your wallets and bags. I buy several wallets to bring back to San Francisco for presents for my friends, and a few for myself as well. I hope you will be selling more of your items on line soon.

The world is so small because this year (2008) when I was there I learned that you went to school with my niece Tamar!!!
Your wallets, and other items, are so well made they last for at least a year or more. Thank you for your creativity and high quality work(wo)manship!

A graduate from the Arava School of Environmental Studies will be in Jerusalem during the last week of June — 22nd to 30 June and will be offering workshops on crocheting hand bags, wallets, hats, bracelets and mats, using disposable plastic bags. Beautiful work with many possibilities and, of course, user friendly.
If you are interested in learning this art or would like your children to learn a new craft to keep them busy and “green” during the summer months, please email a message or call 02-5618566.
Please indicate your name and telephone number .
The workshop is scheduled to take place on Monday evening in the German Colony, either in a private home or at a community center, depending on the number of participants..
