Leibovich Halamit a Creative Family workshop since 1939

When wood and metal “meet” the souvenirs and gifts necessarily bear the special and unique print of the Israeli nature.

Halamit is a unique attraction where one meets a loving creating family that gives an unforgettable memory from the land of Israel.

Halamit combines passion and creativity resulting with the most highly qualified and a large variety of products made of the Galilee olive trees and metals.

The development of the plant over the years is an outcome of a long process of understanding that the knowledge and professionalism made famous by the family is the one that saved their lives during the holocaust and the reason of their success today.

Grandfather Leibovich had to run a metallurgical plant in Romania for the Nazis that in return allowed him to save his family, his property and other peoples’ lives.

The successor son of Grandfather Leibovich, Joseph, absorbed the gratitude and understanding of his parents, eager to “pay back” by manufacturing souvenirs and gifts to the pleasure of the visitors.

Today the granddaughter Lilach Leibovich (daughter of Joseph the son), the third generation of the family that continues the legacy, is managing the family business.

This sacred Olive tree is still exists. The Bible repeatedly refers to the Olive tree as a symbol of Peace

The Bible says "His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive tree".  The olive tree has always symbolized the glory, splendor and the very roots of both Judaism and Christianity.  Olive trees have been growing in the Holy Land for hundreds of years.  The wood underwent a natural, 7 year drying process, ensuring the woods stability before it was carved.  The great age of the tree lends the wood its naturally artistic form.  Also known as Roman trees, they have been bearing fruit since the time of the Romans.  The wood's grain affords a glimpse of the rich history of the Holy Land from whence it sprang.  Many religious, historical and artistic articles are made from the beautiful ancient wood.  IDEAL for use or display in any room, it makes a GREAT Birthday Present, Gift, Christmas Present or Thank You Gift.

Halamit LeibovichVisitor Center

Halamit Leibovich is a workshop which was founded by Berl and Bela Leibovich. Berl's expertise was in metals: casting and plating. Berl had acquired his profound knowledge in the University of Romania. Berl's great knowledge in metals was a great blessing, the Nazies who depended much on this knowledge let him manage a heavy metal plant during the second world war so that Berl and Bela were in fact protected and unhurt and managed to survive the years of the Holocaust..

Berl and Bela made "aliyaa" (emigrated from Romania to Israel) in 1951.

In this very year Joseph their only son was born.

Berl was at this time the only, the first and the pioneer Israeli expert in the area of metals, so he was called by many institutions to teach and along with his teachings he founded Halamit, the family metal coating workshop.

In years to come, Joseph the son joined the workshop and expanded his knowledge and expertise in metals, he graduated in Spain. By the time Berl had retired Joseph took over the workshop together with his wife Sarah again expanded the areas of the workshop and specialized in hand crafting of naturally processed olive wood and combined metal and olive wood relics and souvenirs for both the Jewish and the Christian believers. The source of the olivewood is from the Galilee olive trees.

Joseph passed away in 2001.

Since then Sarah the wife and Lilach their daughter manage the workshop.

Joseph had many times expressed his dream to build a shop – a visitor center adjacent to the workshop –so that tourists, believers and other visitors would be able to see all Halamit's products "under one roof" and upon their request will be able to watch and learn about the process of their production. Joseph's dream was that the visitors will experience something special, will be

Welcome in a warm and embracing atmosphere so that their visit will be fun.

Sarah and Lilach worked hard on fulfilling Joseph's dream expanding the concept of the shop – upgrading it to a visitors' center that will not only show and sell Halamit's products, but products and handmade art works of local Golan artists and craftsmen with emphasis of all made in Israel, the Holy Land products.

Sarah and Lilach the third generation is proud to declare after 50 years that they are the only manufacturer of these products that are fully and completely manufactured in Israel.

Halamit is marketing its products to tourist shops and visitors centers throughout the country and the rest of the world, maintaining the highest quality and of course the outstanding service and reliability.

Halamit's Visitors' Center offers tours which explain and demonstrate the production process from the start to the "finishing" while emphasizing the importance of local handicrafts.

The visitors can also get a taste of the oil, jams, wine, and everything made in the Golan Heights
