About the Item
A silver Freedom Tower spice container by Tommy Gelb, crafted in New York in 2014, is a notable piece of contemporary Judaica.
Tommy Gelb is a contemporary artist and silversmith known for his unique and modern interpretations of traditional Judaica. His work often combines historical and cultural themes with modern design elements, creating pieces that are both functional and artistic. Gelb's craftsmanship reflects a high level of detail and a modern aesthetic, drawing inspiration from the iconic Freedom Tower.
The design is inspired by the Freedom Tower (One World Trade Center) in New York City, symbolizing resilience, freedom, and the rebirth of the area post-9/11. Its association with the Freedom Tower adds a layer of cultural and emotional significance, especially for those connected to New York City or the events of 9/11.
The container features architectural elements reminiscent of the tower, incorporating sleek lines, geometric patterns, and a contemporary style.
Spice containers (besamim boxes) are used during the Havdalah ceremony at the conclusion of Shabbat to hold aromatic spices. The container’s design not only serves its ritual function but also stands as a piece of modern Judaica art.
The silver Freedom Tower spice container by Tommy Gelb, created in 2014, is a significant piece of contemporary Judaica. Its design, inspired by the Freedom Tower, symbolizes resilience and modernity, making it a valuable collectible both for its artistic merit and cultural significance.
