We are proud to present an exciting line of Artistic Judaica by Yair Emanuel.
What a unique and useful idea! This gorgeous interactive menorah features colorful cheerful Jerusalem scenes. The menorah opens up for Hanukkah, and for the rest of the year remains closed, in which state is is used as Sabbath candlesticks. There are brass inserts for the candles. The design was hand-painted with a brush using acrylic colors and then lacquered. Vivid and harmonious colors characterize the hand-painted wood.
As this piece is covered with layers of lacquer, it is totally functional and waterproof and may be hand-washed.
Artist Yair Emanuel, a graduate of the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, lives and works in Jerusalem. Vivid and harmonious colors as well as a mixture of the old and the new characterize Emanuel's work, which is designed and crafted in his Jerusalem studio. The principal techniques utilized encompass painting on silk, hand-embroidery, raw-silk appliqué and painting on wood.
