About Dr. Leon Waller
Dr. Leon Waller, a board certified internist, likes to say “Medicine is an art and art is a medicine”. “Dr. Leon”, as he is often called by his patients, knows this best because he has been practicing both for more than twenty five years. “Just as a medicine can change your blood pressure, pulse, or mood, so can art, and art, just like medicine, can enhance your quality of life”.
Dr. Leon blends authentic ancient Jewish coins and other artifacts with modern designs to create art and jewelry that transcend time. “I like to create art and jewelry that combine a classic timeless beauty with eternal meaning, something that makes you feel good every time you wear it and look at it. I’ve often seen throughout my career how art with meaning can uplift one’s spirit and outlook, how it can help someone connect to a higher meaning and purpose. Each time I create a piece where I find that perfect balance between our past and our future I feel it deep inside, and I hope you will too”.
“My inspiration comes from our long and rich Jewish history, and our Torah values. Each piece you see has its origin in our past but its meaning is relevant to all time. My best critics and advisors have always been my three daughters, who have grown up in Israel after our Aliyah and have served in the IDF.
They are ‘living the dream’ of returning to our land and making lives for themselves in Israel after two thousand years. I never stop learning from them and their enthusiasm.”
Dr. Waller is board certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine and is licensed to practice medicine in the U.S. and Israel. His home is in the ancient city of Tzfat, Israel where he designs all his art and jewelry.
