Ein Kerem (or Ein Karem, Hebrew: spring of vineyard) is located at the foot of mount Orah of the Judea Mountains.It is an ancient village and now a neighbourhood in southwest Jerusalem .

According to Christian tradition, John the Baptist was born in Ein Karem, leading to the establishment of many churches and monasteries. Thanks to a persistent struggle of its residents, the village preserves the magic of its unique characteristic :

narrow alleys, landscapes from immemorial times , the beautifully built Arabian stone-houses, its churches, cafes, and restaurants and of course its art galleries.

Yitzhak Greenfield was born in Brooklyn New York. He studied art in The Educational Alliance Art School in New York.

He studied printmaking in Venice Italy.

Yitzhak came to Israel and lived on Kibutz Gal-on and Ein Hashophet together with his wife and children.

In 1964 he established his home, studio and gallery in Ein Kerem Jerusalem. Yitzhak's paintings and prints reflect the deep interest of the artist in Judaism, Kabbalah and archeology.
