Introducing... Mr. Avraham Fried Mr. Avraham Fried was born in Romania and when he moved to Israel he brought along a couple of very important things — besides his pajamas and toothbrush. He brought the carpentry skills he’d learned from his father and the idea — born in Italy — that an aron kodesh was more than a plain wooden box. In fact in his factory in Israel Mr.Fried discovered that there’s no end to the beautiful designs that can be achieved with the magic ingredients: wood tools magic hands and a creative imagination.
