Intro

Add a collectible touch to your Hanukkah display with this hand painted wood dreidel, its four sides wrapped in the walls, towers, and rooftops of Jerusalem. The fourth face carries the letter shin, for nes gadol haya sham, the version used outside Israel. Jerusalem imagery carries centuries of heritage and connection, fitting for a piece meant to be displayed rather than played with. Designed by Jerusalem artist Yair Emanuel, whose work has furnished Jewish homes for over two decades.

Build and Use

Hand painted on wood by skilled artisans, the dreidel comes with a matching painted stand for year-round display. It measures about 3.5 by 1.5 by 1.5 inches and sits securely on its base once set down. The piece is framed as a decorative collectible rather than a toy, meant for a shelf or mantel through Hanukkah and beyond.

Gift Ideas

This dreidel and stand make a thoughtful Hanukkah gift, and the Jerusalem motif also suits a housewarming or a gift for someone furnishing a new Jewish home. It works well for a bar or bat mitzvah gift too, or as a small addition to an engagement or wedding gift set. Its size makes it easy to send along with other Judaica pieces.

Care Instructions

Dust the dreidel and stand with a soft, dry cloth to keep the painted surface clean. Keep the piece away from water and direct sunlight so the colors stay vivid over time.
