April 25, 2010 - PRLog -- Ramat HaSharon, Israel

Jack Jaget is an artist who works with wood to make book covers for Bibles, Tehillim, Sidurim, Pesach Haggadot and Machzorim. He also makes Torah Pointers, Tzadakah Boxes, and Mezuzah Cases using the same methods. His career started in the U.S. but with his wife and three children, he came to Israel in 1974.

Jaget graduated from the Music and Art High School and the Cooper Union Art School of New York. Early in Jaget's career, he became the Art Director at the World Publishing Company. During this time he also designed books for most of the major publishing companies in the States.

He has been awarded such honors as:
Best 50 Books – American Institute of Graphic Arts, AIGA children’s book selection (A total of 14 books), honor book for the Caldecott Medal, and he was a member of AIGA and the American Heritage of Graphic Arts.

Upon his arrival in Israel, Jack opened a graphic studio, making designs for companies, hotels and banks such as the Sheraton and Carlton Penta, Bank Hapoalim, the BIRD Foundation, and more.

Because wood-working is Jack’s great love, it is the highlight of his creative output. Each Jack Jaget piece is individually fashioned in various woods and decorated with gold leaf. All of the metallic parts are gold plated. He uses the finest available lacquer finishes to give his creations a unique Middle-Ages touch.

Jaget's artwork has been presented to CEOs and notable scholars as gifts. Among well-known personalities who were the recipients of Jack’s books are the late King of Jordan and US President George W. Bush.
