Crafting Immersive Spaces
Yocheved Ra'chel Gavriella
Architectural Designer and Kabbalistic Artist
Rachel's passion lies in the ability to transcend aesthetics and create environments that foster spiritual connections through her architecture and laser cut designs. Her work serves as a conduit for individuals to experience the sanctity and beauty of their surroundings, offering a unique blend of functionality and transcendence.
Journey
Rachel's journey into the world of Kabbalistic art began with her studies at the Chabad seminary, Beis Chana Tzfat, in Israel. There, she immersed herself in Judaic subjects and earned her Teudat Morot (Teaching certificate). Drawn to the energy of Tzfat, the epicenter of Kabbalah, Rachel returned each summer, where she would lead tours, teach classes and deepen her understanding of Chassidic and Kabbalistic wisdom.
Seeking to bridge her spiritual knowledge with artistic expression, Rachel pursued her secular studies at Pratt Institute. It was here that she discovered her unique calling: integrating her vast Torah knowledge with design, creating an unprecedented niche in the world of art and spirituality.

Rachel's artistic process is deeply intertwined with her ongoing Torah study. Each day brings new insights that inspire her creations, ensuring that her work remains a living, evolving expression of Chassidic and Kabbalistic thought. This dedication to learning and creation forms the foundation of her unique artistic voice.
Through her art, Ra'chel serves as a bridge between the spiritual and physical realms, between ancient wisdom and contemporary expression. Her work invites viewers to explore the rich tapestry of Jewish mystical thought, offering a visual gateway to profound spiritual concepts.
Ra'chel's mission extends beyond personal artistic expression. She seeks to ignite a spark of understanding and curiosity in all who encounter her work, regardless of their background or level of Jewish knowledge. In doing so, she continues the Chassidic tradition of making deep spiritual truths accessible and relevant to all.

Continually inspiring and intriguing those who gaze upon the work to learn further &
Delve into a deeper level of understanding, meaning, and connection to the vast secrets hidden within.
