Micah Harrari

Co-Founder and head craftsman of King David Harps, Micah originally trained in the building and repair of stringed instruments (violin, guitar, mandolin, etc.) in California.  He began making the first harp for his wife, Shoshanna, using this mastery together with what they found in archeological evidence, Talmudic information, and what’s written in the Bible concerning the harp.  

He loves working with wood and using his discerning eye to ensure that every harp created here has been crafted to ‘Temple quality’ perfection.  An excellent photographer as well, his photographs are the lens that capture the beauty of the harps for the world to see.  ding 2

Shoshanna Harrari

Shoshanna together with her husband Micah  are the founders of King David Harps.  Shoshanna's dream of a harp of her own came true in 1984.  Micah Harrari built the harp for her and the rest is history. 

Shoshanna now guides the creation of each and every harp from conception to completion. She welcomes visitors with a tour of the harp shop that includes sharing secrets of the harp and plays melodies ancient and new.  Shoshanna generously shares the wisdom and traditions of  the Harps of  David to people around the world. 

​

Shoshanna can be heard playing the harp on several musical productions of her own and of others.  She is also a natural health educator and author, guiding people to a natural path of healing. 

NISSIM MISHMOR

An expert craftsman with a fine eye for detail, Nissim has been part of our harp team for over thirty years.  Born in Jerusalem in the times of Israel’s independence, he traveled the world for many years.  In the early 90’s, he returned to Israel and came to join with us in handcrafting one-of-a-kind Biblical harps. 

YEFFIM LEVINE

 

Yeffim is a master wood carver, perfecting his art since the age of twelve.  Born in Russia in the town of Daugavpils, he made aliyah with his family to Israel in the early 90’s and began working with Micah and the King David Harps team in 1991.  His intricate carvings and other artistic designs bring to fruition the dreams and visions of our customers that become masterfully incorporated into their harps.

Born, raised, and residing in Ramat Raziel now with her own family, Zohar has been carrying on the tradition of creating our hand-made Door Harps for over fifteen years.  She also contributes intricate, personalized hand-paintings as one of our beautiful customization options for all of our harps.
