Ira Rezak Wins the 2025 Shekel Prize

A prize-winning book explores how Jewish history and culture are captured and preserved through the artistry of medals.

The Shekel Prize is an extremely high relief 3-inch medal designed by Victor Huster.

Ira Rezak’s prize-winning book “Jewry Reflected, Refracted and Recorded on Medals” is based on an exhibition of his material at New York’s Center for Jewish History.

The phrase "Jewry reflected, refracted, and recorded in medals" is a compelling description of the way Jewish history, culture, and experience are represented and preserved through the art and craft of medals.
