Malchut Vaksberger

Malchut Vaksberger (מלכות וקסברגר) is an Israeli Judaica publishing and design company founded in 2003 by Yoel Vaksberger, a resident of Bnei Brak. The company specializes in the design and production of luxury Judaica items, artistic Jewish books, and printed productions, and operates retail showrooms in Bnei Brak and Jerusalem. Its slogan is "פאר היצירה היהודית" ("Glory of Jewish Artistry"). The company's roots go back to a printing house founded in 1967 in Bnei Brak by Ze'ev Vaksberger, Yoel's grandfather. After Ze'ev's death, his son Moshe ran the press, and Moshe's son Yoel began to artistically design the printed products, despite having no formal training in design. A Macintosh computer was purchased for him at age 13 to support this work. In 2003 Yoel founded Malchut Vaksberger, initially producing event souvenirs, greeting cards and luxury Judaica items. The company later expanded into publishing books related to the Jewish holiday cycle, including "Agada LeChagei Tishrei," "Lehodot ULehalel," an illustrated "Megillat Esther," and a Passover Haggadah, as well as luxury prayer books, illustrated posters and other products. Among its notable productions are a three-dimensional book about Jerusalem viewable with 3D glasses, and a "Kriat Shema Al HaMitah" (bedtime Shema) with a built-in flashlight. In recent years the company has marketed the "Mikranchek" — a magic light-and-sound flashlight for children powered by a transformer or batteries — and the "Otzartzik" — a tablet containing a variety of Jewish content and values, along with songs and illustrations. These products feature the character "Kupel'eh," who serves as the symbol of Vaksberger's children's department. In 2012 the company published "Posek HaDor" about Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, during the rabbi's lifetime. In 2013 it sold an artistic Passover Haggadah combined with gold decorations for one hundred thousand dollars. The company creates unique portraits of Hasidic rebbes (admorim) in distinctive graphics that incorporate background elements and buildings of institutions representing the respective Hasidic court; among the courts for which it has created such works are Vizhnitz, Ger and Dushinsky. It has also created portraits of figures including Rabbi Yisrael'le of Kretsnir, Rabbi Wosner and Rabbi Ovadia Yosef. The company operates a Torah scroll department managed by Yoel's brother, Ze'ev Vaksberger, and a toys and games department called "Vaksberger Toys." It collaborates with the American company "Mefoar Judaica," through which its products are sold in the United States and joint products are developed. Vaksberger also printed the volumes of the "Metivta" edition of the Talmud published by Oz VeHadar. The company's website offers a wide range of Judaica products, including decorated Psalms books, Torah scrolls for children, holiday decorations, magnets with prayers, and personalized items, with free pickup at its Jerusalem and Bnei Brak showrooms.

The history of Malchut Vaksberger is intertwined with the Vaksberger family's printing tradition. In 1967, Ze'ev Vaksberger, grandfather of the current owner, founded a printing house in Bnei Brak equipped with innovative technology for its time. After his passing, his son Moshe took over the operation of the press. Moshe's son, Yoel, began to artistically design the products printed there, despite having no formal training in design. To support this work, a Macintosh computer was purchased for him at the age of 13. In parallel, Yoel studied at the Chug Chatam Sofer yeshiva in Bnei Brak. In 2003, Yoel Vaksberger founded the company "Malchut Vaksberger." Initially, the company focused on producing event souvenirs, greeting cards, and luxury Judaica items. Over time, it expanded into publishing books related to the Jewish holiday cycle, including "Agada LeChagei Tishrei," "Lehodot ULehalel," an illustrated "Megillat Esther," and a Passover Haggadah, as well as luxury prayer books, illustrated posters, and other products. Among its notable productions are a three-dimensional book about Jerusalem, viewable with 3D glasses, and a "Kriat Shema Al HaMitah" (bedtime Shema) with a built-in flashlight. In recent years, the company has marketed the "Mikranchek" — a magic light-and-sound flashlight for children, powered by a transformer or batteries — and the "Otzartzik" — a tablet containing a variety of Jewish content and values, along with songs and illustrations. These products feature the character "Kupel'eh," who serves as the symbol of Vaksberger's children's department. In 2012, the company published the book "Posek HaDor" about Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, during the rabbi's lifetime. In 2013, it sold an artistic Passover Haggadah combined with gold decorations for one hundred thousand dollars. The company operates a chain of stores in Bnei Brak and Jerusalem. It creates unique portraits of Hasidic rebbes (admorim) in distinctive graphics that incorporate background elements and buildings of institutions representing the respective Hasidic court; among the courts for which it has created such works are Vizhnitz, Ger, and Dushinsky. It has also created portraits of figures including Rabbi Yisrael'le of Kretsnir, Rabbi Wosner, and Rabbi Ovadia Yosef. The company has a Torah scroll department managed by Yoel's brother, Ze'ev Vaksberger. Another department established in recent years is the toys and games department "Vaksberger Toys." Vaksberger operates in cooperation with the American company "Mefoar Judaica." Under this cooperation, the company's products are sold in the United States through that store, and the companies develop joint products. Vaksberger printed the volumes of the "Metivta" edition of the Talmud published by Oz VeHadar. The company's slogan is "פאר היצירה היהודית" (Glory of Jewish Artistry).
