I am my beloved and my beloved's mine - in Hebrew from the song of songs.
Gabrieli weaving brings you Kuzari, a unique embroidery project in Jerusalem's exotic Bukharan Quarter. This once - elegant Quarter settled in the late 1800's by wealthy Jewish immigrants from Bukhara, Samarkand and Afghanistan, in central Asia, is now an extraordinary combination of ethnic groups.
Kuzari brings together three generations of women in a magnificent newly renovated turn of the century building. These women are discovering their rich cultural heritage and bringing back to life the vibrant colours, exotic patterns and familiar symbols of Sephardi Jewery. -
