Sanctifying Shabbat and Jewish festivals is a holy endeavor, and as with all special occasions, it is a pleasure to make them as beautiful as possible. You can bring a touch of the colors of Israel to the Shabbat table with this lovely Kiddush cup and saucer set.
Emanuel’s brightly decorated kiddush cup and saucer bring a feeling of joy and effervescence to your Shabbat and Holiday meals. He has decorated a simple metal cup with charming, brightly colored pomegranates in shades of red, purple, and green against a fresh white background. Printed in Hebrew on the front of the cup are the words “Bore pri hagefen” (Who created the fruit of the vine from the kiddush blessing)
Pomegranates are one of the seven species of the land of Israel mentioned in the Bible. This is a lovely way to bring a touch of Israel into your home, wherever you may be.

Yair Emanuel is a prolific artist and creator of Israel’s most recognized and loved Judaica. His creative use of colors, textures, and images from the land of Israel makes his beautiful works of art instantly recognizable.

The city influences many of his beautiful works of art, decorated with scenes from the Old City of Jerusalem. His other works celebrate the seven species of the land of Israel with charming depictions of wheat, barley, rye, pomegranates, grapes, olives, and figs.
Emanuel’s designs are infused with his love for Judaism, a respect for tradition blended with his joyful embrace of color and innovation. His Judaica is represented in various mediums from painted wood, textiles, and metal. Each piece that he makes is unique while recognizably ‘Emanuel.’
