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 motif of the "Seven Species of Israel" - wheat, barley, pomegranates, dates, figs, olives, and grapes. The menorah opens up for Hanukkah candle lighting, and for the rest of the year remains closed as a beautiful decoration on your mantel.  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.

This menorah fits standard Hanukkah candles. It is also appropriate for pre-filled gelled olive oil cups with diameter 2 cm / 0.8".

A free Hanukkah blessings pamphlet is included! Printed in both Hebrew and English for easy reading. Measuring 24 X 16.5 cm (9.4" X 6.5"), this beautiful laminated booklet will help everyone sing along! Includes the traditional blessings said after lighting Hanukkah candles, plus the famous tune Maoz Tzur!
