Award-winning artist Andrew Galitzer is a young Orthodox Jew, passionate about uniting Judaism and art with his Torah comics. He attended Jewish schools all his life, reinforcing his religious identity. Following Katz Yeshiva High School, he attended Yeshivat Eretz HaTzvi in Israel to study Torah and mitzvot on a deeper level. Currently an undergraduate at Drexel University, Andrew runs biweekly parshah classes as the education chair of the Orthodox community on campus.

Throughout his years of education, Andrew developed his personal drawing style. His artwork has won awards from the Boca Raton Fine Art Show, Teach Coalition, Chidon Hatanach, the Combat Anti-Semitism Movement, and the Jewish Museum of Florida. He created the name ANDiDREW , as in “I went to Israel and I drew,” which evolved into a globally recognized resource for Jewish educational materials. Andrew expanded his business to include Zoom drawing classes and Torah Comics Workshops to fulfill the need for virtual activities in 2020. Andrew pitched this idea to win first place in the Baiada Institute Student Pitch Competition.

Today, ANDiDREW is a popular cartooning studio that inspires thousands of Jewish artists of all ages. Andrew hopes to continue to impact Jewish communities around the world and share his love for Judaism and art.
