Description

Love is more than a feeling; it is an intention and a quiet promise we choose each day. "Ahava," the Hebrew word for love, carries that deeper meaning: love rooted in action, compassion, and presence. It is the warmth of being truly seen, the strength of showing up even when it’s hard, and the gentle reminder that connection is sacred. We give not because we must, but because our hearts know it is the truest way to live.

Optional personalization: This design has a maximum limit of 36 characters (including spaces)

Personalize the black base your sculpture in English or Hebrew: The text must be entered exactly as you want it engraved; Glenn copies it verbatim. Please double‑check spelling, spacing, and punctuation before submitting your order make sure any Hebrew is right to left.

Hebrew: Write the name in Hebrew or use the key to choose a Hebrew letter by its corresponding number. We cannot translate for you. You can use https://my-hebrew-name.com/ if you need help with translation. Glenn will personalize exactly what you type in that order, so please proofread before submitting.

Based in
Hudson Valley, New York
Craft
Precision-cut, hand-painted art

Glenn Grubard is a self-taught Hudson Valley artist who builds on the centuries-old Chinese art of paper cutting, reworking it as precision-cut, hand-painted Jewish art. Many of his designs carry an inspirational saying, hymn, or prayer, meant to encourage and motivate whoever lives with them.

Every piece starts as a digital design. His framed paper-cut artwork is cut from archival museum board and hand-painted with eco-friendly acrylics for a metallic finish. The mezuzahs at ModernTribe are precision-cut from mahogany wood, hand-painted, and mounted on anodized aluminum. Glenn also brings years of experience as a commercial designer and business owner to the work.

The mezuzahs are where his sense of fun shows. There are music designs for fans of the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Queen, Phish, and Springsteen, team mezuzahs for sports fans, and wedding mezuzahs made to hold the glass broken at the ceremony. He also makes personalized Hebrew word sculptures, including Shalom, Ahava, Mishpacha, and Mensch.

His personalized pieces have been owned by Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Carlos Santana, Todd Rundgren, and Zac Brown, and his work sells in museum shops around the country, including the store of the Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History.
