Sarah Feld made Aliyah from New Jersey in 1981, and over the decades has put down deep roots in the heart of the Jewish homeland. She has lived in Jerusalem and Beit El, and today calls Kiryat Arba home—a community on the outskirts of Hebron, just minutes from the ancient site where the Patriarchs are buried.
Sarah and her husband Gyora, a native Israeli, have five children and many grandchildren. Gyora is a man of the land in the most literal sense. He plants trees and vineyards across Judea and Samaria, and even makes his own wine.
In 2012, Sarah met Tamar Silverstein, a silversmith with a gift of creating stunning pieces of jewelry from silver. The two of them have worked together ever since. In each piece of jewelry Sarah tries to express love and faith in God, in Israel, and in the Jewish people. Through her work she seeks to bring the redemption a little bit closer. In her own words:
I have been blessed to be able to express my creativity in diverse forms. As a doula, empowering women in birth. As a poetess, reaching for Higher dimensions expressing my love for this Good Land and contemplating life’s complexities. As a designer of jewelry, trying to merge beauty and meaning. And especially as a mom and grandmother. With thanks to God for all the kindness He has shown me.
