Upon his arrival in Jerusalem in 1912, Ze’ev Raban was invited to join the faculty of the Bezalel School of Art and Crafts by its founder, Boris Schatz.

There he worked as director of the repoussé workshop and as teacher of anatomy and decorative arts.

He also served as principal designer for the applied art studios where carpets, metalwork, ceramics, and woodwork were made for the commercial market.

Raban was much influenced by the Art Nouveau and Symbolism he has seen in Munich, Brussels, and Paris, where he studied sculpture and decorative arts.

These influences played a significant part Raban’s personal style, which in turn helped define what came to be known as the Bezalel style.
