Intro

Add a touch of tradition to your Havdalah table with this embroidered spice bag, its pomegranates and branch worked in rich color across natural cotton. The pomegranate has long stood for blessing and abundance, a fitting image for the bag that holds the besamim as the new week begins. Designed by Jerusalem artist Yair Emanuel, whose work has furnished Jewish homes for over two decades.

Build and Use

Used to hold besamim for the Havdalah spice blessing, the bag draws closed with a braided cotton cord. Embroidered on soft cotton, it measures about 2 by 1 inches, sized to sit easily in the hand. The drawstring top keeps the spices contained between uses.

Gift Ideas

Small and richly detailed, this spice bag makes an easy wedding, engagement, or housewarming gift for anyone building a Jewish home. It also suits a bar or bat mitzvah or an anniversary, tucked in alongside a Havdalah candle or kiddush cup. Its size makes it a natural add on gift for any Shabbat or holiday occasion.

Care Instructions

Spot clean the bag gently with a damp cloth rather than machine washing it. Keep it dry and out of direct sunlight so the embroidered colors stay bright.
