The Squirrel Torah Pointer

Rebecca Nightingale’s Squirrel Torah Pointer is a testament to her exceptional modeling and carving skills, as well as her deep appreciation for Jewish folk tales and traditions. This yad, along with the lion and bear motifs, pays homage to the animal motifs frequently found in Judaica lore. In early illustrated Jewish manuscripts and Judaica, field animals like rabbits, foxes, and squirrels were often depicted.

The Squirrel Torah Pointer’s hanging acorn is a nod to the tiny bells that were hung from altar pieces and Torah pointers in centuries past, adding a touch of historical charm to this beautifully crafted piece.

All items are enclosed in 100% boiled wool keeps. A gift box with a sterling silver FJ button and card are included.
