Intro

Add a fragrant touch to your Havdalah ritual with this embroidered spice bag, its cotton surface stitched with a colorful Jerusalem skyline of domes, arches and a windmill. At Havdalah, sweet spices are held in a small bag like this one and passed around as the Havdallah candle is lit. The Jerusalem imagery carries a sense of heritage and connection. Designed by Jerusalem artist Yair Emanuel, whose work has shaped Jewish homes for over two decades.

Build and Use

Made of cotton fabric embroidered with colorful thread, the bag closes with a crocheted drawstring trim. It measures about 2 by 1 inches, sized to hold a small measure of besamim spices for Havdalah. The soft pouch is light enough to pass from hand to hand around the table.

Gift Ideas

Small and richly detailed, this spice bag makes a thoughtful housewarming or wedding gift, especially for someone starting their own Havdalah tradition. It also suits a bar or bat mitzvah or an engagement gift with a Jerusalem theme. Its size makes it easy to include alongside a larger Judaica gift.

Care Instructions

Keep the bag dry and away from direct sunlight to preserve the embroidery's colors. Spot clean gently by hand if needed, and avoid soaking the fabric.
