201 Beautiful Modern Menorahs For 2009. (The Megile Modern Menorah List.)

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://w.sharethis.com/button/sharethis.js#publisher=0d650ffe-1ec7-4395-883b-24e806d21a65&type=website"></script><br /><br />Beginning in 2006, I began making annual lists of beautifully designed and unusual modern <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menorah_%28Hanukkah%29">menorahs</a> for those who wanted to participate in the tradition of the nightly lighting of the candles in observance of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanukkah">Hanukkah</a> (or Chanukah) without the old style Hanukkia or Menorah.<br /><br />At that time is was hard to find any accessible and affordable Judaica that was contemporary, let alone modern, but that has since changed. Artists, designers and popular stores like <a href="http://www.crateandbarrel.com/">Crate and Barrel</a>, <a href="http://www.potterybarn.com/">Pottery Barn</a> and <a href="http://www.target.com/">Target</a> all carry menorahs now, most sold online, but that doesn't mean they are all attractive or well-designed. So, I've separated the wheat from the chaff for you.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXPDDBjNK25VMsA1z2ODM8Ts0_lFjbWxSUEe0_HOk4y76RhMqhxQ-aHSI6ZagVQ_YwOeYdsHpnF-X0t-nynfmU2Q6NYv0BkFKC1mKjkKYv1HF43HVTzJAnMcV_-ILtlEdDyHgOLXNmMXsk/s1600-h/Picture+2.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401438330209736210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXPDDBjNK25VMsA1z2ODM8Ts0_lFjbWxSUEe0_HOk4y76RhMqhxQ-aHSI6ZagVQ_YwOeYdsHpnF-X0t-nynfmU2Q6NYv0BkFKC1mKjkKYv1HF43HVTzJAnMcV_-ILtlEdDyHgOLXNmMXsk/s400/Picture+2.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 530px; height: 533px;" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">above: Online stores like </span><a href="http://www.moderntribe.com/" style="font-style: italic;">Modern Tribe</a><span style="font-style: italic;"> make a point of carrying the latest contemporary Judaica, like the Nail Mountain menorah by Seth Nagelberg shown above</span></span><br /><br />This list doesn't include cheesy novelty menorahs made in the shape of shoes, trains, school buses, dogs, dancing rabbis or cats. Okay, admittedly I did include the Motherboard Menorah, the giant Matchstick Menorah and the Galvanized Pipe Menorah, which may border on novelty to some, but have a Pop art and Dada-like style.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6axW4eSi6e2cMwWxAQjiJrzM15avQR9adImXI56IUwPR_G0LGtH3SO9OmeDZhjoGmqtil1dGTjk67kFtFSSnJ3RRRkftrvyAOk5pc2oqMLjw-OqwerHWjCDuXeO7RId3mXs6OfuyN0IYj/s1600-h/dadamenorahs.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402127800956508146" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6axW4eSi6e2cMwWxAQjiJrzM15avQR9adImXI56IUwPR_G0LGtH3SO9OmeDZhjoGmqtil1dGTjk67kFtFSSnJ3RRRkftrvyAOk5pc2oqMLjw-OqwerHWjCDuXeO7RId3mXs6OfuyN0IYj/s400/dadamenorahs.jpg" style="cursor: pointer;

Images such as The Seder table, The Four Sons, The Red Sea, the Plagues, Manna From Heaven, Had Gadya, The Exodus, burning bushes, lambs blood, Pharaohs and more are diversely illustrated by these respected artists.

Though Agam was raised in a strictly observant home by a father who was a rabbi and a mystic, Agam's art for his Hagadah is light and playful. Using vibrant colors, stick letters, and geometric shapes, he continues the great tradition of Haggadah illustration while adding a flare that is uniquely his own.<br /><br />Illustrations and calligraphy: Yaakov Agam (1928- ) Jerusalem: Gefen Publishing House, 1993<br />Images copyright © Yaakov Agam.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">2.

Portfolio of 27 signed and numbered giclee prints, Haggadah and Book of Commentary by Matthew L. Berkowitz. Jerusalem: Nirtzah Editions, 2006.<br /><br />Berkowitz is a rabbi whose current position is that of Senior Rabbinic Fellow in the Florida Regional Office of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America. Landscapes according to Berkowitz "convey the soul of the Passover experience." It is "an expanse of scenery that can be seen in a single view. The seder imparts the breadth of Jewish experience, treating us to a panoramic view of Judaism through text and interpretation." Of his work, Berkowitz writes, "I hope to challenge the ennui often experienced around the seder table and to recapture a spirit of creativity and spontaneity." In addition to the images, the calligraphy is also by the artist.<br />Images copyright © Matthew Berkowitz.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">What is Had Gadya (An Only Kid)?</span><br />Had Gadya is a folk song in Aramaic which concludes the Passover Haggadah. It is a relatively late addition to the Ashkenazi (Central European) Haggadah text and does not appear in the medieval editions. Much beloved by both young and old, it is about a goat purchased by father for two zuzim (coins). It is a playful, cumulative song which has, however, dark undertones.<br /><br />4. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Menachem Birnbaum's Chad Godjo (Had Gadya)</span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin6mtdpvFGrWv5BDbJEC165wLWcQwqRP49eIcNLw2sRUPmj1JAWczTYVnbnf6JAGpL05PRx0anB28kzL24Ue_d-nMgNUbMSJwUS0bUnW4TRFSVkHNTIc4mE55NfYw1Jqj39_RAfWleXOG9/s1600-h/1131610.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322383000881697922" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin6mtdpvFGrWv5BDbJEC165wLWcQwqRP49eIcNLw2sRUPmj1JAWczTYVnbnf6JAGpL05PRx0anB28kzL24Ue_d-nMgNUbMSJwUS0bUnW4TRFSVkHNTIc4mE55NfYw1Jqj39_RAfWleXOG9/s400/1131610.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 532px; height: 660px;" /></a><br />Illustrated by Menachem Birnbaum (1893-1944), translation into German by Uriel Birnbaum. Berlin: Welt-Verlag, 1919.<br /><br />The brothers Menachem and Uriel Birnbaum created imaginative and expressionistic books in post-World War I Germany and Austria. Both were artists and writers and they often collaborated on the books they produced. The illustrations that Menachem Birnbaum created for his edition of the Had Gadya reflect the trauma and pessimism of the post-war period in Germany and seem to foreshadow the horrors that were still to come. A portraitist and graphic artist, he worked as an art editor for Jewish journals and after World War I became the art director of two Jewish publishing houses. Compare Birnbaum's interpretation to that of Lissitzky, whose Had Gadya illustrations are also in this exhibit, published in the same year. Both reflect on the cataclysmic events of their age but while Lissitzky seems to see a more hopeful future, Birnbaum sees only devastation.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">5.

The Hebrew type and Headline letters were especially designed by the artist for this book. Limited edition of 396 copies.<br /><br />Kalderon, an Israeli artist trained at the Bezalel School of Art in Jerusaelem, says this about his Haggadah illustrations "I have always loved the beauty of old Passover Haggadahs. They were splendid expressions of art, commissioned by wealthy families to beautify their Passover tables and as a legacy for generations to come. Now it was my turn to bring a new perspective to an old story. It was time for an innovative, unusual and beautiful Haggadah, to be treasured as a work of art, in the present and for generations to come. I used popular icons from ancient and universal mythology, all designed and decorated in my color scale and personal style.

Lissitzky was interested in Jewish folk art and his illustrations for the Had Gadya reflect this interest. All the images depict the world of the small East European villages where the vast majority of Jews lived in the beginning of the 20th century. In Lissitzky's artistic interpretation, the poem becomes an elegy for that world that had been decimated by war and revolution. The verses that surround each image are in Yiddish, the language of East European Jewry. Violence is the over-riding theme of the song and of the artist's illustrations. The only hopeful image is that of the defeat of the Angel of Death by the divine hand. The fallen angel has a crown on its head and some take that to represent the recently deposed and executed Czar.<br /><br />Illustrations and calligraphy by El (Eliezer) Lissitzky (1890-1941).

This is a stock image that appears in Christian iconography as well. Artists usually place it with the passage in the Hagadah that begins with: "Pour out your wrath on the nations that do not know You" or with the ending statement of the seder "Next year in Jerusalem." Mikhail Magaril, however, has chosen to set his minimalist interpretation of this iconic image at the end of the Had Gadya. He thus reverses the nihilism inherent in the song, which is about death and destruction, and ends it on a note of hope for a better world to come. Monoprints by Mikhail Magaril.

It took four years to complete all the paintings and I feel that their implications will affect my work for the rest of my life."

For colors, I looked to the blues, oranges and golds of the eternal Middle East landscape."<br /><br />"There are several recurring images throughout the Haggadah: the image of freedom, the image of family around the seder table, and the Hand of God carrying the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt.

Rochester, New York: Bet Alpha Editions, 1987<br /><br />The Moss Haggadah represents one of the great achievements of Haggadah illustration in modern times. In his art and calligraphy, Moss takes inspiration from the artistic traditions of the past while creating new traditions of his own. In his introduction, Moss says "My innovations are apparent in my graphic treatment which is often radically different in both style and content from traditional Haggadah illustrations. Generally speaking, I have not pictured the literal meaning of the texts, but have tried instead to discover new connections and insights into the complex meanings of the Haggadah. In this I based myself on the midrashic process--so apparent in the Haggadah itself--by which the rabbis juxtaposed disparate, sacred texts to produce fresh insights into the tradition."<br /><br />Images copyright © 2009 by David Moss, courtesy of Bet Alpha Editions, Berkeley.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">15.

Three decades later his watercolor drawings were incorporated into a printed Haggadah. It contains a frontispiece, illuminated title-page, 12 illuminated manuscript pages of the text and 10 drawings for the Had Gadya (An Only Kid). He says of the text that "it reflects my memories of the Passover in my father's house.

To make this masterpiece, he has employed the age old Jewish art tradition of papercutting - a process in which every letter and design incorporated into the Haggadah is meticulously hand cut from paper. It took ten years to craft this magnificent fifty five page Haggadah.<br /><br />Each extravagant page of the Haggadah features Archie Granot's signature style, which incorporates modern geometric design and brilliant color combinations while still maintaining the refined beauty of ancient Hebrew calligraphy. In order to create this effect, the multi-layered Haggadah pages are often up to an inch thick and can weigh as much as five pounds.<br /><a href="http://archiegranot.com/">See more of Archie's beautiful Jewish papercuts here.</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">19.
