Intro

Bring a piece of Jerusalem into your home with this metal wall hanging, its Hebrew letters cut into the shape of the words "If I Forget Thee" and filled with a blue skyline of Jerusalem houses. The phrase, drawn from Psalm 137, speaks to an enduring bond with Jerusalem, and the domes and rooftops painted across the letters echo the city's ancient stone streets. Designed by Jerusalem artist Yair Emanuel, whose work has furnished Jewish homes for over two decades.

Build and Use

Cut from metal and finished with a hand painted design in shades of blue, the piece is meant to hang on a wall as a decorative centerpiece. It measures 15.5" by 12.5" and comes ready to display, with the lettering and skyline forming a single connected shape. Its layered cutout form gives it dimension beyond a flat print.

Gift Ideas

The Jerusalem theme and meaningful text make this a fitting gift for a housewarming, especially for someone furnishing a new Jewish home. It also suits a wedding, an engagement, or a bar or bat mitzvah, where a piece connected to Jerusalem carries lasting significance. Beyond these occasions, it works simply as a striking addition to a living room or entryway.

Care Instructions

Dust the piece gently with a soft, dry cloth to keep the painted surface clean. Avoid moisture and abrasive cleaners, which can dull the finish over time.
