A Silver Challah Knife Handle by Ludwig Yehuda Wolpert

About the Item

This exquisite silver-handled Challah knife, designed by renowned Judaica artist Ludwig Yehuda Wolpert, is a stunning blend of modernist craftsmanship and deep religious symbolism. The handle is intricately carved with the Hebrew blessing "Hamotzi Lechem Min Ha'aretz" (Who brings forth bread from the earth), emphasizing its sacred role in the Shabbat and holiday meal. The knife features a stainless steel blade, ensuring durability and functionality, while the silver handle exemplifies Wolpert’s signature minimalist yet elegant design approach. The piece is housed in its original blue leather case, lined with soft white felt, preserving its beauty and authenticity. This Challah knife is not only a functional ritual object but also a remarkable piece of Jewish art, reflecting Wolpert’s dedication to merging tradition with modern aesthetics. It serves as a meaningful heirloom for Shabbat and festive occasions. Marked at the edge of the knife handle.
