A star of david ornament says a great deal with six clean points and no embellishment at all. Known in Hebrew as the Shield of David, the symbol traveled across centuries and even served as a decorative motif in churches long before its first recorded use in a synagogue. It hangs beautifully on a tree, a window frame, or a winter garland.
Perfect for: Hanukkah gifting, interfaith households, family keepsakes, hostess gifts, teacher gifts, and holiday care packages.
It is mouth-blown glass, shaped in a carved mold, then hand-painted and glittered in the tradition Old World Christmas has kept since the 1800s. It hangs from a standard hook or a length of blue ribbon, and it displays year round in a sunny window where the glass catches the light.
Set it beside the menorah on the mantel, or see the rest of our Hanukkah decorations and gifts. A second one makes a thoughtful gift for a new neighbor.
