The Redemption Menorah

The Redemption menorah was created to reflect the miraculous story of Hanukah. The menorah depicts the Arch of Titus. Though traditionally viewed as a portrayal of the destruction of the Temple, the artist has interpreted this scene as one of redemption. It portrays the future return of the menorah to its rightful place on the Temple Mount. The scene portrayed on the original monument in Rome was one of the earliest pictorial records of the Temple Menorah. The body of the menorah is composed of three steps made of Jerusalem stone, reminiscent of the three steps in front of the menorah. On the intermediate step are eight sterling silver oil lamps adorned with a Greek motif relating to the Hasmonean time period. The uppermost step serves as a base for the sterling silver soldiers carrying the Menorah through the gates of Jerusalem. Above the gate is the shamash, a replica of an ancient Byzantine oil lamp. At the back of the menorah is a drawer which holds a sterling silver tweezer, candle inserts, and a funnel. Each work is signed and numbered by the artist and is available in a limited edition. 1999, sterling silver and Jerusalem stone.
