From Extremism to Expression: An Artist’s Journey Back to Jewish Identity
For years, Tamar Zeitlin was immersed in the world of ultra-Orthodox anti-Zionist ideology. As the resident artist of the Neturei Karta community in Ramat Beit Shemesh B’, she illustrated booklets conveying opinions against the state of Israel—works she once saw as a pure and sacred mission. But life had other plans.
Together with her husband, Tzachi, she began questioning the extreme worldview she had long embraced. “We realized that this path was creating emotional detachment from our people instead of bringing us closer to each other,” she recalls. This realization led to one of the most significant decisions of their lives: leaving the community together with their 6 children and forging a new path as proud, modern Israelis.
The transition was not easy. “At first, I was afraid that leaving meant losing the parts of Judaism I loved,” she admits. Having spent her life within the confines of an isolated ideology, she had little knowledge of what lay beyond. But as she stepped into the broader world, she discovered something profound: “Judaism belongs to all of us. It’s not just one interpretation or one way of life.”
With this new understanding. Exploring various artistic styles, she ultimately returned to her roots, specializing in Judaica but this time from a place of personal truth. Her approach is unique: blending modern and trendy aesthetics with ancient Jewish motifs. Her paintings—featuring scenes of Jerusalem, Israel, Chassidim, Klezmer musicians, and the Temple—are bright and floral. Her metal artwork, while minimalist, exudes energy and movement, striking a delicate balance between order and vitality.
Her work resonates deeply with clients who have long searched for a way to express their Jewish identity and connection to Israel within their home décor. “People tell me they finally found what they were looking for—a way to showcase their values, heritage, and belonging to Israel in a way that feels harmonious with modern design,” she shares.
Today, her transformation is not just reflected in her art but in her family as well. Two of her children are already serving in the IDF, with the third to enlist this summer. “We are a proud Israeli family,” she says. “And we don’t feel any less Jewish than we did before—if anything, we feel more connected than ever.”
From illustrating anti-Zionist propaganda to creating art that expressed Jewish heritage and Israeli pride, her journey is a testament to the power of personal growth, identity, and the enduring beauty of tradition in the modern world.
Zeitlin’s gallery is located in the Juden hills, in the town of Tzur Hadassah, overlooking Jerusalem. If you are visiting Israel you are warmly invited to stop by.
