Intro

Add a collectible centerpiece to your Hanukkah display with this large dreidel and stand, hand painted with the Seven Species trailing across its faces. Pomegranates, wheat, and grapes recall the fruits of the land of Israel, and the fourth face carries the letter peh, for nes gadol haya po, the version used in Israel. Designed by Jerusalem artist Yair Emanuel, whose work has graced Jewish homes for over two decades, the piece is meant for display rather than play.

Build and Use

Hand painted on wood by skilled artisans, the dreidel stands about 4 inches tall on its matching painted stand, with a base of roughly 2 by 2 inches. Each face is finished in detailed color to bring out the Seven Species motif, and the fourth face carries the peh used in the Israel version of the phrase. The stand keeps the dreidel upright as a standing piece rather than a spinning one.

Gift Ideas

The dreidel and stand make a fitting Hanukkah gift for a housewarming, a bar or bat mitzvah, or anyone building a Jewish home. Its size and finish also suit it as an anniversary or engagement gift for someone who collects Judaica. Beyond Hanukkah, it works well as a lasting decorative piece for a shelf or mantel.

Care Instructions

Wipe the dreidel and stand clean with a soft, dry cloth. Keep both pieces away from water and abrasive cleaners so the painted finish stays vivid.
