Intro

Bring meaning to a daily ritual with a cotton towel embroidered for netilat yadayim, hand washing before meals. Clusters of grapes trail across the lower panel in rich purple and green thread, framed by the Hebrew words for the blessing. Grapes call to mind the fruit of the land of Israel and the blessing of abundance. Designed by Jerusalem artist Yair Emanuel, whose work has shaped Jewish homes for over two decades.

Build and Use

Woven from cotton and finished with embroidered detail, the towel measures 23.5 inches by 13.5 inches, sized for a hand towel bar near the sink. The grape design and lettering are machine embroidered onto the cotton base for a crisp, durable finish. Soft and absorbent, it suits daily use at home or in a guest bathroom.

Gift Ideas

The towel makes a fitting housewarming or wedding gift, especially for a couple furnishing their first Jewish home. It also suits a bar or bat mitzvah gift or an engagement present, and works well paired with other kitchen or ritual pieces. Its everyday usefulness makes it a gift that gets used often, not tucked away.

Care Instructions

Machine wash the towel in cold water and tumble dry on low to keep the embroidery intact. Avoid bleach and harsh detergents, which can dull the thread colors over time.
