The mezuzah is a parchment inscribed with religious texts and attached in a case to the doorpost of a Jewish house as a sign of faith. Jacob’s People, which celebrates Judiaca in all its modern manifestations, has launched a collection of designer mezuzahs.
Jacob’s People hatched in late 2011 when founder Leah Greengarten was inundated with Jewish wedding invitations (it happens to us all at a certain age). Looking for cool, thoughtful, innovative and original gifts inspired her to start her own business. Jacob’s People offers opportunities for emerging Australian artists and gives them the platform to create relevant and inspiring objects of art.
