I am an Israeli author, artist and teacher, born in Kurdistan, now living in the US. This website introduces my new book, Life Behind a Shutter, and also showcases my custom-designed costume jewelery; both are available here. I am available for presentations in Israel and the US.
“Life Behind a Shutter, the story of Lea Magali’s mother’s family and community during the first half of the 20th century, provides a fascinating look into the culture of Jewish Kurds, their struggles and the sacrifices they made to survive despite overwhelming odds. ”
