A modern piece of Israeli Judaica shaped by the hands and vision of one of Jerusalem’s most influential artists. This menorah comes from Yair Emanuel, the Jerusalem based designer whose work has helped define contemporary Israeli Judaica for more than three decades. Emanuel grew up steps away from the Old City, surrounded by stone alleyways, synagogues, and the cycles of Jewish life. Those surroundings formed the basis of his artistic language: clean lines, handcrafted metalwork, and motifs drawn from tradition but built for modern homes.

A handcrafted menorah from Jerusalem is a link between the past and present, the Maccabees and modern Israel, and every home that lights candles in celebration of Hanukkah. This hammered aluminum menorah reflects Emanuel’s signature approach. Each curve is shaped and finished in his Jerusalem studio. The menorah’s broad silhouette is intentionally simple, allowing the hammer textured surface to catch the light of each candle – an echo of the way light spreads across Jerusalem’s stone at dusk. The base is weighted for stability and suitable for display year round.

Emanuel founded his studio with the goal of creating Judaica that speaks directly to the daily lives of Jews in Israel and around the world. His team includes craftspeople from across Jerusalem, many of whom have worked with him for decades. When you bring this menorah into your home, you’re supporting a workshop that reflects the creativity, resilience, and cultural continuity of Israel’s capital.
