Yair Emanuel is a true Israeli artist. Being born on a Kibbutz and growing up in an Orthodox home in Jerusalem, Emanuel’s art is deeply influenced with a unique fusion of traditional Judaic motifs and modern Israeli and Asian art which he also acquired during his studies at the prestigious Bezalel Academy of Art and Design.

Emanuel hand crafts his Judaic art in a Jerusalem studio and uses special techniques such as silk painting, hand embroidery and wood painting.

Check out this lovely Oriental Shabbat set:

The Shabbat set consists of two Shabbat candlesticks and a Kiddush cup. When the candlesticks are overturned they become a Havdala set. The vivid and harmonious colors characterize Emanuel's hand-painted ritual articles. Each wooden article is hand-painted with brush using acrylic colors and than lacquered.

This is another lovely piece, a "Jerusalem" Challah Board and matching knife:

Both the Shabbat set and the Challah set can be used for eating and drinking, and can be washed in water since it is coated with several layers of lacquer.
