About the Item
A Silver Challah Knife crafted by Ludwig Wolpert in the 1970s exemplifies a fusion of Judaic tradition with modern artistic expression. Ludwig Wolpert, a renowned Jewish silversmith and artist, was known for his innovative designs that revitalized traditional Jewish ceremonial objects.
The Challah Knife is used to cut the braided bread, Challah, typically on Shabbat and holidays. Wolpert's work often combined traditional Jewish motifs with contemporary design principles, reflecting his training in Bauhaus aesthetics and his deep appreciation for Jewish ritual and symbolism. In the 1970s, Judaica experienced a revival of interest in modern interpretations, blending functionality with artistic innovation.
Wolpert's Challah Knife features sleek edges, a long squared rectangular handle, and Hebrew lettering integrated into the design. Written in Hebrew on the top of the handle are the words " Hamotzi Lechem Min Ha'Aretz" which are the last few words for the blessing made on bread.
Each piece by Ludwig Wolpert carries not only practical utility but also embodies a spiritual connection and cultural identity. The silver Challah Knife from the 1970s serves as a tangible link between Jewish tradition and the modern era, showcasing Wolpert's dedication to craftsmanship and his vision for contemporary Jewish artistry.
Marked and signed at the edge of the handle.
