Intro

Add a collectible centerpiece to your Hanukkah display with this large hand painted dreidel, its four faces wrapped in the domes, arches, and stone walls of Jerusalem. The fourth face carries the letter shin, for nes gadol haya sham, the version used outside Israel. Jerusalem imagery here speaks to heritage and connection, a link to the city at the center of the holiday. Designed by Jerusalem artist Yair Emanuel, whose work has shaped Jewish homes for over two decades.

Build and Use

Carved and hand painted on wood by skilled artisans, the dreidel stands about 4 inches tall and 2 inches wide, and comes with its own painted stand for display. As a decorative collectible rather than a toy, it is meant to be set out and admired through Hanukkah and beyond. The stand keeps the piece upright and steady on a shelf, table, or mantel.

Gift Ideas

Sized and finished for display, this dreidel makes a memorable Hanukkah gift, and a fitting one for a housewarming or as a piece for someone building a Jewish home. Its scale and detail also suit it as an engagement or wedding gift for collectors of Judaica. The Jerusalem design gives it lasting appeal well past the holiday season.

Care Instructions

Dust the dreidel and its stand with a soft, dry cloth to keep the painted surface bright. Keep it away from direct sunlight and moisture, and avoid any water or cleaning solutions that could affect the paint.
