David Moss launched the revival of the hand-made ketubah in the late 1960s. Through hundreds of private commissions, cover stories, articles on his work in national publications, exhibits, and his piece in the Jewish Catalogue, Moss kicked off the renaissance of the modern Ketubah and created a mini-industry of hundreds of Ketubah artists. He has also illustrated the Haggadah and the book Love Letters: A Celebration of Jewish Love and Marriage in Words and Images.
Jim Mavrikios finds nothing incongruous about being a Greek-American Jewish Arabist—and program manager of New Lehrhaus. In 2001 he founded Pacific Arabic, a language school in downtown San Francisco. He served as executive director there until 2020, while also teaching Standard and Moroccan Arabic.
