He studied under Ludwig Yehuda Wolpert and David Gumbel at the Bezalel [Academy of Arts and Design] in Jerusalem.
Zabari was artist-in-residence for almost three decades at New York's Jewish [Museum (Manhattan)|Jewish Museum]. He returned to his native Israel in the 1980s. He was known for his modernist approach, a reviewer described his 1998 sculpture, "Death by Stoning," as "elegant and beautiful," despite describing a "terrible act of violence."
