Imagine being reminded of the Western Wall, known as the Kotel in Hebrew, every time you were in your kitchen!
The Kotel is a special holy place for the Jewish people and people worldwide. It is the last remaining wall from the time of the Second Temple, and there is a belief that the holy presence of our creator may be felt there. It is a place for prayer, connection, and reflection and is a memorable symbol of the holy city of Jerusalem.
The Western Wall magnet is a lovely purchase for yourself as a reminder of Jerusalem or even if you have only traveled in your heart. It also makes a sweet gift for a loved one.

Naftali Karshi established Karshi Judaica after he arrived in the fledgling State of Israel in 1955. When Naftali arrived, he settled in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Mamilla in front of the Old City walls. Mamilla was a dangerous neighborhood at that time as it was right next to the border controlled by Jordan!
Naftali began studying goldsmithing in Jerusalem and the exceptional craftsmanship needed to make his beautiful Judaica. His small business developed a reputation for the highest quality handmade items. Naftali drew his inspiration from the Land of Israel and his family’s strong ties to their Jewish faith.
Today the business is under the leadership of his son Uziel. After school, Uziel would spend his afternoons with his father watching and learning Naftali’s metalworking secrets and artistic style.
Uziel and his team continue to make unique Judaica in the tradition of Naftali; each piece from concept to creation is made with love, care, and concern.
