Rabbi Barry Gelman
United Orthodox Synagogues of Houston
"I met Jamie Shear when I served as senior Rabbi for Congregation Shaar Hashomayim in Montreal. Mr. Shear is a remarkably talented artist who fuses a passion for innovation with a love of tradition. The beautiful Ketubah he created for our synagogue is a great asset to our community. I remain a strong supporter of Mr. Shear’s artistic and scribal pursuits and I highly recommend others to engage him in creative ventures."
Simon Bensimon
Executive Director, Eastern Region at Canadian Friends of the Hebrew University
"I had the pleasure of working with Jamie as Executive Director of Hillel Montreal when we commissioned a Sefer Torah for the Hillel at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem following the terrorist attack in July 2002. He was totally committed to the task and a pleasure to work with. Jaime is a very spiritual person and it shows in his work and his interaction with others."
Asya Berger
Temple Emanu-El / Lea's Torah Project
"The memory of seeing the completed Torah for the first time, and the moving and meaningful dedication celebrations will be with me and my family forever."
Joan Ress Reeves
Temple Emanu-El / Lea's Torah Project
"What an experience tonight! I was moved beyond words. It was a privilege to watch Jamie--a beautifully religious and still of-this-world person--perform a craft that is, at the same time, a religious devotion--finish a Torah, something I'd never expected to see."
Happy Ketubah Customers
"Jamie, the ketubah arrived and I am blown away! It is so beautiful. I may have mentioned that we must have seen 1000s of ketubot before we found your work, but the choice was so simple once we saw it."
