 Judaica means things pertaining to Jewish life and customs, especially when of a historical, literary, or artistic nature, as books or ritual objects. Judaica includes ornate ceremonial objects used in the synagogue, as well as decorative objects used in the home. These objects often tell the stories of Jewish traditions through their craftsmanship and decoration.

A mezuzah comprises a piece of parchment called a klaf and is held in a decorative case and inscribed with specific Hebrew verses from the Torah. A mezuzah is affixed to the doorpost of Jewish homes to fulfill the mitzvah to "write the words of God on the gates and doorposts of your house".

Menorahs

The menorah is a nine-branched candleabrum that is lit during the eight-day holiday of Hanukkah. Each night of Hanukkah, a new branch of the menorah is lit. The ninth holder on the menorah, called the shamash ("helper"), is for a candle used to light all other candles. To be kosher, the shamash must be offset on a higher or lower spot than the main eight candles or oil lamps on the menorah. Shop for menorahs in Boca Raton at Devon's Diamonds & Decor.

Seder Plates

A Seder plate is a special plate that contains symbolic foods eaten or displayed at the Passover Seder.   Each of the six items that are arranged on the plate has a significance to the retelling of the story of Passover—the exodus from Egypt —which is the focus of this ritual meal. The six traditional items on the Seder Plate are:

1. Zeroa (shankbone)
2. Beitza (roasted hard-boiled egg)
3. Maror / Chazeret (horseradish)
4. Maror / Chazeret (onion)
5. Charoset
6. Karpas (parsley)
  

Many decorative Seder plates sold in Judaica stores have pre-formed spaces for placing these symbolic foods. Shop for unique seder plates in Boca Raton at Devon's Diamonds & Decor.

Shabbat Candle Holders

Shabbat candle holders are used for the candles that are lit on Friday evening before sunset to usher in the Jewish Sabbath. Lighting Shabbat candles is a rabbinically mandated law. The candle lighting is traditionally done by the woman of the household, but in the absence of a woman, it is done by a man. After lighting the Shabbat candles, the woman moves her hands over the candles and towards her (as if bringing in or guiding in the Sabbath); she then covers her eyes and recites a blessing. Shop for Shabbat candleholders in Boca Raton at Devon's Diamonds & Decor.

Apple & Honey Dishes

TWO OF THE BIGGEST NAMES IN CONTEMPORARY JEWISH ART...

Gary Rosenthal

Gary Rosenthal has been sculpting in welded metals since the early 1970’s. Together with a team of talented craftspeople he creates one of the most popular and unique lines of Judaica art in the country. Combining copper, brass, and steel with brilliant fused glass, the Gary Rosenthal Collection has a contemporary style rooted in tradition. His inspiration comes from the rich history of the Jewish people which tells us it’s a blessing – a mitzvah – to make beautiful, functional, art. 

Work from the collection has been presented to Presidents from Carter, to Clinton, to Obama and celebrities as varied as Bette Midler, John Travolta and Ben Stein. It has been seen worldwide in many fine galleries, private collections, and museum shops including Smithsonian’s Renwick Gallery, Corning Museum of Glass, American Craft Museum, B’nai B’rith Museum, The Jewish Museum, Skirball Museum of Culture, and the John F. Kennedy Center for Performing Arts. 

Michael Aram 

michael aramMichael Aram is an award-winning American artist who has dedicated his career to craft-based design. Inspired by a trip to India at age 25, he established a second home and studio there, where he continues to draw creative inspiration today. Trained as a painter, sculptor, and art historian, Michael has neatly applied his diverse background to the decorative arts. Lyrical and often witty, his work encompasses a wide range of media and reveals a rich and variant source of inspiration – nature, mythology, narrative storytelling, and purified form. Michael’s work is also a celebration of craft and age-old hand working traditions. It is the enduring fusion of these ideals – originality, narrative, and craftsmanship – that has become the hallmark of this gifted artist. 

Michael Aram Judaica comes from Michael's fascination with objects of ritual. Regardless of the faith with which they are connected, they are imbued with a profound energy and meaning that holds a very special place for him. Whether it is a unique object or derived from a motif with a broad collection, each piece is created with a particular sense of reverence and care in both the function and the design.
