Add a bright accent to your Shabbat table with this small match box holder, its lid painted with a pomegranate branch in blue, orange, and green. The pomegranate motif carries its familiar meaning of blessing and abundance, fitting for the candle lighting it accompanies. Designed by Jerusalem artist Yair Emanuel, whose work has furnished Jewish homes for over two decades.

Build and Use

Care Instructions

Wipe the holder clean with a soft, dry cloth. Keep it away from water and abrasive cleaners so the hand painted finish stays vivid.
