Via Maris

VIA MARIS IS A MODERNIST JUDAICA BRAND BASED IN NEW YORK CITY.

The idea for the company was born out of  the realization that it is nearly impossible to find Jewish objects — some of the oldest design objects in the world — designed in the Modernist tradition. The vast majority of Judaica available was baroque and impractical, making the objects difficult to connect with in a contemporary context.

Via Maris aims to help Jewish people engage and re-engage with their faith and culture through a collection of refined, useful, and contemporary tools for observing traditions. We also hope to share our culture and these objects more broadly with people who are not Jewish and we welcome everyone and anyone here. 

Via Maris has a strong commitment to engaging in the Jewish process of Tikkun Olam, a Hebrew expression which can be simply explained as any activity that improves the world, bringing it closer to the harmonious state for which it was created. Our products and company strive to improve the world in four ways.
