Between Abu Ghosh and Nataf there is a unique multicultural center called "Saksum", which describes in modern multimedia the history of Israel as the Holy Land of the three religions. The building was designed by Jerusalem architect Nathan Goldsmith along with a Spanish architect and he leads the visitors on a fascinating journey through the time tunnel. The word "saxum" is a Latin rock and indeed you can see a huge stone map here with the itineraries.

Veteran Mickey Berger Carpentry from Galilee Sea was a complete partner in creating the carpentry items that adorn the unique complex - from designing ceilings through prayer houses to stylish doorways and closets.
The choice of Mickey Carpentry for an unusual project of its kind like Saxom is no accident. It is a carpentry workshop that specializes for nearly 50 years in the design and production of dozens of synagogues across the country and the world. The carpentry was founded by Mickey Berger, who manages the technical and manufacturing side and together with Epic Rashok, the project manager in the field of two has almost 90 years of carpentry experience and they complement each other in working with clients.

Epic says that each of the projects, both public and private, is a complete world. "When it comes to synagogues, we treat them in the studio with great sensitivity, while researching the history, the community story on the ground, its connection to the synagogue structure and its people, and the sense of man standing in the space. We come out knowing that the community members are going to spend a lot of time, every day, in the synagogue. Community therefore it is important for us that all products are designed exactly according to the requirement, useful, durable and loyal to the nature of the place and the community. In general, changes can be seen in the design of synagogues. For example, for a synagogue in Kfar Yona, we have produced sacred coffins in a more modern look and many synagogues are interested on one hand with engraved gospel wood and developments with unique silver flicks and on the other hand the lines are light and over-the-top.

"A lot of houses are similar and the carpentry works are done in a kind of production line, but we are a carpentry that gives personal attention to the last detail when it is strict in every way to choose quality raw materials, excellent forging ingredients, precise finishing. The materials with the most stringent standard according to the Israeli standard And the European with flame retardants has an inhibitory color in the woods. "

How does a custom carpentry process work?

"It depends a lot. If the project usually has an architect, we will meet it according to the exact technical specifications he has designed, but even if a client comes and does not have an architect or interior designer we can advise and plan for it. In the first step we will jointly characterize the individual needs from size to personal style and space. "We choose the raw materials, color, everything according to requirements and budget. An important part of the process is related to the choice of trees and their color. The choice of wood depends on the customer's needs. For example, kitchen cabinets we prefer to use Sandwich Birch in light of its durability while MDF is better for paint jobs." .

In addition, the carpentry is engaged in more modern and up-to-date works, according to the best contemporary trends combined with the latest, latest and highest quality materials.
