Intro

Bring the Jerusalem skyline to your Shabbat table with this challah knife, its handle cut through with a scene of domes, arches, and palm trees. The stainless steel blade is serrated along its full length and signed Emanuel near the handle. Jerusalem imagery carries a sense of heritage and connection, fitting for the bread that opens the Shabbat meal. Designed by Jerusalem artist Yair Emanuel, whose work has graced Jewish homes for over two decades.

Build and Use

Used for slicing challah each Shabbat and Yom Tov, the knife pairs a stainless steel serrated blade with a metal cutout handle. The handle's Jerusalem scene is worked in raised and open metalwork along a rectangular grip. The knife measures 13.5 inches long and 1 inch wide, with the blade making up most of that length for clean, even cuts.

Gift Ideas

The Jerusalem design makes this knife a fitting gift for a wedding, housewarming, or engagement. It suits a bar or bat mitzvah gift as well, or a gift for someone furnishing their first Shabbat table. Its blend of function and imagery makes it a welcome addition to any Jewish home beyond those occasions too.

Care Instructions

Hand wash the knife and dry it promptly to keep the steel from spotting. Avoid abrasive cleaners on the handle so the Jerusalem cutout detail stays sharp.
