Inspired by the ancient land of the Khazars, Kuzari is a unique embroidery project in Jerusalem's exotic Bukharan Quarter.
This elegant Quarter settled in the late 1800's by wealthy Jewish immigrants from Bukhara, Samarkand and Afghanistan, in central Asia, is now an extraordinary combination of ethnic groups. Kuzari brings together three generations of women in a magnificent newly renovated turn of the century building. These women are discovering their rich cultural heritage and bringing back to life the vibrant colors, exotic patterns and familiar symbols of Sephardi Jewelry.
Kuzari has now grown into an autonomous company which sells to many shops in Israel and abroad. Come and look around in Kuzari today. You will find a dazzling array of handmade textiles, embroidered pillow cases, wall hangings, decorative pieces and ceremonial items for home and for the synagogue.
