Beautiful Jewish things

I recently visited a dear friend at her home. In the course of this visit I was able to catalog some of her family's precious relics. If you are a cultured person like me you will agree that they are fabulous.

This stunning "Home is where the Hanukkah is" glazed platter promotes traditional Jewish values of family and tradition while appealing to today's hottest pottery styles.

Retail value: priceless

This unique cookie jar, shaped like a dreidel, the four-sided spinning top played with during the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah features a classic design, time-tested for at least a millennium, and is sure to make a splash in any modern Jewish home.

Retail value: one million pieces of gelt
