Hanukkah Judaica

Unique Hanukkah Judaica Gifts frm Israel

Hanukkah commemorates the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem after the Maccabean victory over the Seleucid Greeks, and the miracle of the single cruse of olive oil that burned for eight days. Almost everything in the Hanukkah visual canon traces back to those two facts: the eight-branched menorah (technically a Hanukkiah, since the original Temple menorah had seven branches), the dreidel with its four Hebrew letters, the warm tones of oil light, and the celebration of light at the darkest point of the year.

Our Hanukkah jewelry collection translates those symbols into pieces designed to last well beyond December. Menorah pendants are the most popular, often featuring lit-flame detailing in two-tone gold or set with small diamonds at each light. Dreidel charms are a favorite for younger wearers and are commonly given to a Bat Mitzvah girl who will celebrate the holiday for many years to come. Hebrew-letter necklaces spell out the four letters on the dreidel (nun, gimmel, hey, shin), which stand for "nes gadol haya sham", the phrase that reminds us of the miracle in the Land of Israel.

The collection also extends into Judaica items for the home. We offer sterling silver Hanukkah menorahs in classical, modern, and Yemenite-filigree designs, as well as olive-oil filled glass pitchers, dreidel sets in silver and crystal, and engraved Hanukkah gelt holders. For families who light multiple menorahs (the custom is for each member of the household to light their own), we offer matching sets at gradient sizes.

Because Hanukkah falls between late November and late December, we recommend placing orders by early November for international shipping. Every Hanukkah piece in our collection is handcrafted in our Jerusalem workshop and shipped worldwide with a certificate of authenticity. For those gifting eight nights, our team is happy to suggest a sequence of smaller pieces (one per night) that pair well together and remain meaningful long after the menorah has burned down.
