Hi. My name is Marci Wiesel. Originally from the United States, I am an Israeli Judaic papercutting artist living for the past nine years with my husband and seven children in Gush Etzion, part of the beautiful biblical Judean Mountains just south of Jerusalem. I feel fortunate to be able to simultaneously manage my wonderfully busy home as well as my Jewish papercutting gift gallery and website www.papercutjudaica.com.

With much pleasure, my family and I are proud to invite your Israel tour to enjoy the warm surroundings of our home and my home gallery showroom. This is an opportunity for your tourists to meet an Israeli artist, learn about her unique Judaic papercut designs, shop for special gifts, and experience a bit of community living in Israel.

We are located in Alon Shvut, a community of about 600 families and home to several well known institutions such as Yeshivat Har Etzion, Machon Tzomet Research and Development Institute of Torah and Science, Michlelet Herzog Teachers College, and the Gush Etzion Shalva Center for Special Children. We are a two minute drive from the popular Kfar Etzion Multi Media Presentation and Museum, and three minutes from the city of Efrat. There are several local restaurants including the Gush Etzion Winery and Dairy Café located just outside of Alon Shvut.

Stop by with your tour group for a quick shopping visit while traveling through the area. Learn about the meanings and messages hidden in the various papercut designs. Then, take home these lightweight colorful pieces of art which serve as great gifts for all occasions. A stop at Marci's is an informal educational opportunity as well as the most fun and friendly shopping experience you'll have on your trip in Israel.

Large and varied selection, personal attention and special prices are available only at Marci Wiesel's Papercut Judaica Home Gallery Showroom. A must for your tour! You'll be glad you came.

Please arrange visit in advance. Our home is open to your group Sunday-Thursday between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Families with children are welcome.
