Kedem Auctions

Kedem Auction House was established in 2008 by Meron Eren and Avishay Galer. The owners have been dealing for many years with antique Jewish books and manuscripts, and items related to the history and culture of the Jewish people. Avishay specialized in Religious books (Sifrei Kodesh) and rabbinical manuscripts, while Meron specialized in modern day Jewish history and culture. Kedem Auction House holds public auctions of religious books (Sifrei Kodesh), manuscripts and rabbinical letters, and alongside these auctions of items related to Jewish history, culture and art, along with Palestine / Holy Land related items. Moreover, due to Israeli market demands, we established an Israeli and International Art department, such auction will be conducted twice a year and will feature important and high quality paintings, works on paper, photography and sculptures. Our aim is to offer for sale items of quality and value, produce professional and precise catalogs, conduct the auctions maintaining a high standard of credibility and order, and treat both depositors and bidders pleasantly and respectfully. We accept for evaluation and sale single items and complete collections in all subjects related to Judaism, history and culture of the Jewish people and Eretz Israel. Besides books and manuscripts we are interested in a wide variety of paper items - such as letters, photographs, graphic items and posters. We will also be glad to offer in our auctions objects related to our specialty fields such as Hannuka lamps, Kiddush cups, Chala covers, and a variety of other objects of the Jewish home, as well as Palestine objects such as Bezalel works, olive wood items, local ceramics, vintage toys and games, badges and pins, etc. We chose the name Kedem for our auction house as the root of this word contains in it both a meaning referring to past days and old times and at the same time a meaning of progress and looking forward. We hope that Kedem Auction House will combine in its activities all of these together.
