About ZOHAR

Helping people connect with Hashem through their own ways of expression.

Akiva Hoffmann founded ZOHAR to join contemporary art with his love for Judaism. It began with the atarah; based on what customers ask for, more is on the way.

The story

“Born out of the need to be a little different.”

As a child, Akiva was artistically inclined in drawing, design and music. He founded ZOHAR out of a desire to combine his interest in contemporary and modern art with his love for Judaism.

ZOHAR started with changing the way people think about their tallit, through the ZOHAR atarah. Akiva designs and handcrafts each ZOHAR atarah with the finest crystals to display fiery colors.
