Emanuel has dressed up a simple serving tray with cheerful red pomegranates. Pomegranates are one of the seven species of the land of Israel mentioned in the Bible. “For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, flowing forth in valleys and hills, and a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive trees and honey.” Deuteronomy 8 7-8
The beautiful pomegranate with its ruby red seeds symbolizes beauty, love, fertility, and abundance. In Israel, we also liken the good deeds to the pomegranate – that we should do as many good deeds as the pomegranate has seeds!
You will find multiple uses for Emanuel’s square bamboo serving tray! You can use it to serve snacks and drinks. We love it for an accent for displaying our knick nacks, and we have even used it for a fun, colorful, and very fancy kitties food station! However you decide to use it in your home, we know you’ll enjoy how it reminds you of Israel!

Yair Emanuel is a prolific artist and creator of Israel’s most recognized and loved Judaica. His creative use of colors, textures, and images from the land of Israel makes his beautiful works of art instantly recognizable.
Born on Kibbutz Sha’alvim in central Israel, Emanuel developed his artistic talent as a young man at the prestigious Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem. While studying in Jerusalem, he fell in love with the Holy City and decided to make it his home. His studio is located in the heart of Jerusalem. The city influences many of his beautiful works of art, decorated with scenes from the Old City of Jerusalem. His other works celebrate the seven species of the land of Israel with charming depictions of wheat, barley, rye, pomegranates, grapes, olives, and figs.
Emanuel’s designs are infused with his love for Judaism, a respect for tradition blended with his joyful embrace of color and innovation. His Judaica is represented in various mediums from painted wood, textiles, and metal. Each piece that he makes is unique while recognizably ‘Emanuel.’
