About Netafim55; The ancient art and artistry of
silver, part of Jewish tradition since biblical times, lives on today in the
singular works of Netafim 55, Israel’s most renowned and respected manufacturer
of Judaica. Born in 1914 to a family of
silversmiths, founder Shimon Nataf, of blessed memory, learned his craft as a
child. As time passed, he became recognized as one of the foremost silver
artisans in Tunisia, capturing the impeccable art of generations of Nataf
family silver artisans among them
official silversmiths to the Royal court. Immigrating to Israel with his
family in 1947, Shimon Nataf offer his sons to follow in their father’s
footsteps, teaching them the exacting and demanding craft of candelabra,
kiddush cups, spice boxes, mezuzot, menorahs and Torah plates. Today, Netafim 55 specializes in a
unique selection of hand worked items, some preserving the techniques and forms
of ancient treasures and others reflecting modern influences. Many are
