ABOUT
THE ARTIST
Avraham-Hersh
Borshevsky joins the continuum of centuries-old tradition of the
masters of Jewish Ceremonial Art. In spite of his young age, he
is recognized as one of the top Israeli artists in the field of
Hebrew illuminated manuscripts. The unique combination of the
artistic education and the Jewish traditional religious studies
has enabled Avraham-Hersh to express his talents and fulfill his
potential.
Avraham-Hersh
Borshevsky was born in 1970 (Hanukkah, 5731) in small
North-Ukrainian town Korosten
and grew up in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg, Russia). He received
an artistic education in the Architecture
department of Leningrad Civil Engineering Institute. While
being an art student Avraham-Hersh started attending Judaism lectures
by chabadniks, which then bordered on illegal. He has
also taught himself Hebrew. In 1990 the Borshevsky family made
"aliyah" to Israel, where Avraham-Hersh has
resumed his Jewish education in Tanach, Midrash, Mishnah,
Talmud, Halachah and Jewish thought in Jerusalem yeshivah
"Shvut Ami".
After moving on to further comprehensive study of the Jewish Scribal
Art laws Mr. Borshevsky was granted a Certificate
of Torah scribe ("Sofer-STaM"
in Hebrew)
and Expert ("Ba'al
-Magia" in Hebrew) for
Jewish Scribal Arts by the Jerusalem "Vaad
Mishmereth STaM" Orthodox Halachic Committee.
The
illuminated manuscripts created by Avraham-Hersh Borshevsky have
been displayed at exhibitions in Israel, Russia, and Slovakia.
In 2004 he has written a kosher Mezuzah that was recognized by
the rabbinical experts as a masterpiece of Jewish Scribal Arts.
Due to its giant dimensions, it was recognized as the largest
kosher Mezuzah ever written in history by the Guinness World Records™.
Laureates of the prestigious International Maimonides Prize are
granted a hand-written and illuminated parchment Diploma created
by Avraham-Hersh Borshevsky.
The works of Avraham-Hersh Borshevsky are distinguished for their
filigree technique and conform to the Halachic requirements. His
masterpieces are considered the classics of the contemporary Jewish
Art and can be found in private collections of Jewish art connoisseurs
worldwide.
