Shlomo Zafrir is a painter and, at the same time, the owner of a nightclub called Omar Khaim located in Old Jaffa. The building housing the nightclub is hundreds of years old and, as its name suggests, is of oriental or mid-eastern flavor. Mr Zafrir paints realistic oils of the young people of Jaffa as a specialty along with paintings of the Port of Jaffa. He has exhibited his art in New York and Philadelphia. As far as the nightclub is concerned, it catered to those who enjoy folk singing and was apparently very successful. In 1958 the Icelandic Pop Artist Erro spent 8 months working with Zafrir in his studio. He was also the teacher of Israeli contemporary artist Ted Barr.
