Museum of Psalms מוזיאון התהלים — Attraction in Jerusalem

The Museum of Psalms now has a store down two levels from the original Museum of Psalms. It had only been open 4 months when we came upon it.

This particular store was our favorite of all the stores in the Old City. Mordecai has carefully selected artists for whom he would like to showcase their art and give the public availability to purchase their work. All the artwork he has chosen is beautiful, reasonably priced, and unlike anything we had seen before. The artists he has chosen are extremely talented. The artists we spoke to were humble about their own work and promoted the work of others in the gallery. We found this to be refreshing and rare. Needless to say we felt quite fortunate to have come upon this shop during our visit to Jerusalem.

The Museum of the Psalms was one of only two stores in the Old City that we felt the peace to wander, browse, and ask questions without any pressure. There was great respect given to the customers. All from our tour group who found the store made note of this difference and spoke of it being their favorite store as well.

We did not have the opportunity to visit the upstairs Museum Of The Psalms that all others are mentioning here but we did peek in the windows and saw the beauty that all have mentioned. Hopefully we can return to Jerusalem one day and have the privilege of getting to see and hear about the displayed work.

We found Mordecai and two of the artist’s he showcases in his store (one of whom was Azriel Gess) to be honorable men. It was a pleasure to have met them as well as have their work in our home and in our friend’s homes in the states.

Many friends purchased artwork from this store to take home and a couple of us ordered artwork (prints & paintings) that would be shipped later to us in the states. The ordered artwork arrived for each of us in perfect condition and was shipped for free.

If you visit the Old City we encourage you to visit both The Museum of The Psalms Store which is in the lower level of the Jewish Quarter and the upstairs Museum...

First of all, this is not a museum, it is a gallery that sells painting. Second, their paintings are great, as you can see from high ratings of other reviewers. However, if you noticed, every positive review is left by people who just entered the store and admired the painting, while every negative review is by people who purchased a painting and experienced a lot of trouble to get it shipped. Unfortunately, that was our experience as well. They promised to ship it within 10 days, but one month later there was no sign of any progress or update about it. We ended up cancelling the purchase. The only reason I left 2 stars and not 1 star is because we were able to get money back after one month, as opposed to the average 6 months saga people report. It also looks like that people running this business are missing on a great opportunity by having a low quality post-transaction execution. Conclusion, do not buy art work their unless you pick it up on the spot. Check out other reviews by shoppers to see that our experience is more of a norm than...

SCAMMER!!! MORDECHAI IS A SCAM! Mordechai is a dishonest person. We purchased in full for artwork and he promised he would ship it to us within a few weeks. After 2 months he stopped responding and communicating with us. It is now at the seven month mark and we are continuously trying to find ways to communicate with him through email or sending multiple people in Israel to speak with him. He doesn’t care. He does not provide any updates with us or does not communicate with us and ignores us. He is a scammer and he has taken our money and has never provided us with any product. We are disappointed and really trusted him from his charismatic personality, though we realize he is a scam. He is a thief and a liar. Everyone stay away and do not give a penny. Do not trust him. I’m going to post this on all Facebook and WhatsApp Israel and American chats. Terrible to steal off...
