In Judaism, it has always been considered a mitzvah to perform religious rites with extraordinary objects, as the beauty of the object is said to honor God's commandments. Hence, the amazing array of silver Judaica, or Jewish ceremonial art. The first mention of silver in the Bible occurs in Genesis, where it's noted that Abraham was rich in the radiant metal. Since then, Jews have observed their cycles of prayer and observation with elaborately designed vessels, such as the kiddush cup used for Shabbat and the Jewish holidays, as well as menorahs and other ceremonial items. These are a few of the beautiful silver Judaica items available at Nelson and Nelson:
