Halter, Ardyn

Ketubahs by Ardyn Halter

Born in London of parents who survived the Holocaust, Ardyn was a scholar at Cambridge University before moving to Israel. His father, Roman Halter, and he designed the original concept and building for Yad LaYeled, the Living Education Memorial to the Children in the Ghetto Fighters' Museum in Israel. Together they made the sixteen stained-glass windows. His style is unmistakable with its strength of design coupled with joyous, life-affirming color. Steeped in Jewish visual tradition, these works of art also affirm Jewish ethics and values.
