Rochard Dreidel Limoges Box with Jerusalem Scene
A dreidel, the four sided top spun on Hanukkah nights, carries a painted scene of Jerusalem on its sides. Rochard made this porcelain Limoges box and painted it by hand in Limoges, France.
Nun, Gimel, Hey, Shin
The letters on a dreidel recall the words "a great miracle happened there," and pairing the top with a view of Jerusalem brings that "there" into focus. It joins a beloved holiday game with the holy city at the center of Jewish history and prayer.
Eight Nights of Light
- A Rochard Judaica piece, painted by hand in Limoges
- Belongs with menorah, Star of David and Holy Land boxes
- Fits a Hanukkah, Judaica or Jerusalem collection
Spinning Into the Family Shelf
This makes a meaningful present for a Bar or Bat Mitzvah, a family's first Hanukkah in a new home, or a grandparent who keeps the holiday traditions alive. Place it beside the menorah during the eight nights, then let it stay on a bookcase or china cabinet all year as a reminder of Jerusalem.
Because it is a porcelain box rather than a toy, it is meant for display, a small heirloom that can be passed along with the family's Hanukkah treasures.
