Megilot at Luvaton Jewish Art by Itzhak Luvaton

At Luvaton Jewish Art  Gallery at the Inbal Hotel in Jerusalem, there is a rich, wide collection of Megilot Esther, hand- made by Itzhak Luvaton.
Each Megillah is set in a handsome, massive holder enabling the Megilah to always be on display in your home or synagogue. The Megillot of Luvaton include traditional and modern themes.
One of the traditional Megillot by Itzhak Luvaton is handmade of warm, variegated rosewood. The heroic Purim saga is engraved on sterling silver panels, along the border of the opened Megilah. Blue glass adds to the aura of the period in Shushan. This contrasts with the ornate gold palace Megilah, reminiscent of Queen Esther's life, with a pictorial of the history engraved in the gold.

This Purim Grogger is Judaica Art by Itzhak Luvaton

A beautifully crafted Purim grogger – Use it for Purim and enhance your Judaica Collection all year.
Made by silversmith and artist, Itzhak Luvaton, the Purim Grogger will make its predictable noise when the name of Hamen is mentioned during the reading of the Megilah on Purim.
During the year the Purim Grogger will be admired for its clean lines crafted from real maple wood with attention to detail seen in the sterling silver pictorial panels, which decorate the head of the Grogger. Two panels depict major parts of the struggle of Queen Esther and Mordechai to save the Jewish people. On a third panel, the sterling silver is engraved with fish, the symbol of Adar, the month of Purim.
The elegant stand which continues and completes the classic look is also in  maple wood and  has its own fine trimming in sterling silver. The Purim Grogger by Itzhak Luvaton can stand all year as part of every fine Judaica Collection.

Is your Megillat Esther kept rolled up in a drawer all year, taken out only one night and one morning?  The Megillat Esther, created by Itzhak Luvaton, instead of being hidden away, can proudly be on display all the year, stretched open within its clear, life-size, majestic holder. With Izhak's innovative design, the Megillah scroll can be turned while on display to see different parts of our illustrious history.  Written in beautiful Hebrew lettering, the script is set amongst colorful, hand painted portrayals of the time period in Shushan. Like Queen Esther herself, this work of art combines beauty and strength, simplicity and elegance. The Megillah is exact and easy to read.  Measuring 23" x 33", the clear Megillah case has sharp geometric lines making a nice contrast to the floral decorated columns in subtle colors which frame each 'Hamelech" section.. The scroll itself is made of fine parchment. The handles on which the Megillah is rolled and held open are the deep color of their natural, rich, Beech wood, and are delicately crowned in sterling silver. Itzhak Luvaton's classic-looking Megillat Esther Scroll can easily be hung on a wall in your home for all to see, learn and be inspired by one of the true heroines in our Jewish history all year.
