Abdallah Yousef

   Eilaboun is a Palestinian village and a gem in the Galilee that is worth visiting for its attractions that preserve the Palestinian identity and the rich cultural heritage of the area.

   Eilaboun has a distinct cultural museum called the Heritage House, where Nayef Sam’an, a local resident established this exhibition space. He collected traditional tools and equipment that were historically used for daily activities in the town such as wheat grinding, furniture making, in addition to the categorization of medicinal plants and spices. The museum aims to revive old crafts, games and music that belonged to a community that lived in harmony with nature.

   Abdallah Yousef is another artist and craftsman who is operating the House of Copper since the 1970s. Abdallah produces handmade copper trays, ornaments and coffee dispensers, and caters to clients who come for different types of gifts. He is keeping the craft of brass making alive, since much of the meticulous work has been abandoned for a more modern alternative. Nothing beats a beautiful, shiny, and magnificently detailed masterpiece on a copper tray. A handmade piece by an artist who has a passion for beauty and style is priceless. Abdallah is also an amazing violinist and if you become friends, he will be more than happy to play an enchanting piece or two. Abdallah has a gift shop next to his workshop, where he showcases beautiful coffee dispensers, trays, engraved brass decorations, and much more.
