This Hanukkah menorah by Shrarga Landesman is a beautiful work of modern Judaica art. Using very simple and organic lines, pewter and aluminum with a soft brushed finish, he depicts images of nature and animals long gone. His work creates strong feelings of longing to simple and spiritual life.
This Menorah takes us back to the artist childhood landscapes, evenings on the Sea of Galilee and Herons sitting quietly on the eucalyptus trees watching for fish and frogs. The nest at the top of the tree holds the 'Shamash'.
Sharaga Landesman describes the inspiration for his unique work: "my spiritual sources are the Bible and the ancient cultures that lived in the region. A disappearing world that I miss which does not exist anymore. I confront this world my way, trying to decode familiar cultural codes from those magic objects that these cultures left behind ".
