Bier Judaica was founded in 1950 by Yitzhak Bier, who immigrated to Israel with his family in 1935. At the age of 15 he started his studies in the Bezalel School of Art and Craft. After graduating his studies he opened a small workshop in the basement of his house. With the development of the business, Yitzhak founded Bier, which was the first goldsmith workshop in the country of this magnitude. Today, the sons and grandson of Yitzhak follow his footsteps in Bier Judaica.
