The works of Yair Emanuel have been influenced by his childhood experiences as well as his education at Israel's finest Art and Design school. Yair Emanuel was born in Kibbutz Shalavim, an Orthodox kibbutz located not far from the city of Mo'diin. His family soon thereafter moved to Jerusalem where he spent his formative years. Emanuel was accepted to the prestigious Bezalel academy of Art and Design where he developed a more pluralistic approach to the Jewish religion, further impacting the approach to his art.

The inspiration of Jerusalem, where Emanuel's currently lives and operates his studio, can be seen throughout his works. Many of his pieces and Jewish gifts have distinctive Jerusalem motifs, while others, display the mix of old and new, just as Jerusalem is a blend of ancient and modern. The motifs favored by Emanuel are a synthesis of traditional Jewish symbols with modern and Oriental art. These motifs, mixed together with vibrant and brilliant colors, portray a perfect harmony that only Yair Emanuel can convey.

The preffered materials used by Yair Emanuel are wood, silk, cotton, glass and aluminum. The highly recognizable style used by Yair can be found on items such as Seder plates, Menorahs, wall Hangings, Tallit (Jewish Prayer Shawls), Kipot, Kiddush cups, Havdalah sets and so much more. Yair Emanuel has been singled out for his ability to; hand paint, embroider, and raw-silk appliqué like no other Judaica artist.
