Hanukkah begins tomorrow, so today I’m thrilled to bring to you the menorahs and other Judaica-related sculptures by Israeli artist Shraga Landesman. After spending some time travelling around Europe and exploring western art forms, Landesman returned to Israel to attend Haifa University, studying painting and sculpture. It was there that he began his love affair with small-scale sculptures. His functional Judaica is inspired both by the Bible and by the ancient cultures from the region.

I love the blending of modern materials and elements of nature with traditional Jewish objects. Landesman’s beautiful functional artwork can be purchased from a number of websites including Etsy, Judaica Web Store, and his own website.

I wish everyone a chag Chanukah sameach!
