Sari Srulovitch (born 1964) is an Israeli artist and silversmith.
Sari Srulovitch was born in Jerusalem. She studied at the metal work and jewelry department of Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design and the Royal College of Art in London. [1] She lectured for several years at Bezalel and WIZO College of Design in Haifa. [2]
Srulovitch creates handcrafted Jewish ceremonial art using a combination of modern technology and traditional silversmithing methods such as raising, hammering and chasing.
The Israel Museum included silver Torah shields and pointers created by Srulovitch in an exhibit entitled "Pointing the Way: Women Design Ceremonial Objects" that opened in the fall of 2013.
Srulovitch has a workshop on Jerusalem's Arts and Crafts Lane, Hutzot Hayotzer. [3]
At her Jerusalem Biennale exhibit in December 2021 in the former synagogue of the historic Shaare Zedek building on Jaffa Road, Srulovitch showed a collection of ceremonial Judaica and life-cycle pieces imbued with symbolism as well as social commentary. [4]
According to Srulovitch, stripes are a leitmotif in her works: “The stripes woven into the tallit (prayer shawl), the stripes impressed upon the body by the straps of the tefillin (phylacteries), even written script – in all these I see Jewish ornamentation. The silver Torah shield I designed is made of interwoven stripes, a homage to the ancient art of weaving.” [5]
