Frommer's Review
A highly skilled craftsperson who came to Israel from Morocco as a small child, Danny Azoulay specializes in porcelain and fine ceramic Judaica, and his tiny shop is filled with hand-painted Chanukah menorahs, charity boxes laced with brass or silver designs, mezuzot, spice boxes, and dreidels. One of my favorite designs is a tiny porcelain Chanukah lamp (too small for the strictly observant) that sells for about NIS 540 ($120). Mr. Azoulay's creations delicately blend Florentine, Islamic, Central European, and contemporary motifs into a style that is unique. At times you may be able to purchase seconds at a discount, either at this shop, or at Mr. Azoulay's studio, not far from Machane Yehuda. A number of Danny Azoulay's pieces can be seen at the Wolfson Museum in Heichal Shlomo. The shop also sells illuminated manuscripts and ketubbot (marriage contracts) by some of Israel's finest scribal artists, such as Amalya Nini and Aden Halter.
