Havdalah Spice Box
This Spice Container resembles the
shape formed by hands cupped to hold
a delicate
and valuable object.
The container invites participants to grasp it
and inhale
the fragrance from up close, while
parting from
Shabbat's holiness.
It is composed of many thin leaves of silver which
form a pod enclosure containing the
Havdalah spices.
The leaves separate to insert or reveal
the
fresh spices.
Acquired as part of the permanent
collection by the Israel Museum and
the
Jewish Museum in NY.
