Menorah and Mezuzah

"From the time of the Exodus from Egypt, 3,500 years ago, Jews have marked their doorposts with a symbolic sign. In ancient Egypt, that sign was for purposes of protection. It alerted the Angel of Death to pass over the Israelite dwellings. Ever since, it has been a reminder of protection, as well as a reminder of liberation, history, faith and God’s presence.

Yankel Ginzburg has sought to capture the essence of the Mezuzah by making it an object of excitement as well as beauty. By means of rich, luminescent colors and creative designs, he has given the Mezuzah a feeling of future, not only past, a sense of energy as well as beauty. What was for many merely a simple cylinder is transformed into a precious evocative heirloom.

The purpose of the Mezuzah is to remind those who see it that this is a Jewish home, a mini sanctuary in which God’s presence can by found. Yankel Ginzburg’s Mezuzot are noble reflections which add luster and a new dimension to the signs of Jewish destiny."

Rabbi Jeffrey A. Wohlberg

Ginzburg, dedicated to the heart and human spirit, ingeniously created the "Star Mezuzah, King David Mezuzah and Unto the Light Mezuzah", to blend his artistic soul with the reverence of the almighty. This simple and elegant object of Judaica, boldly reveals and protects the Hebrew scriptures of the Shma; His vision - to show the beauty and strength of the holy prayer*; the heart and soul of the Jewish people.
