Seeka Mezuzahs and Dreidels portray the customs and beliefs of the Jewish faith. Several designs feature Jewish wedding traditions, such as the chupa or a full Ketubah text. Seeka’s mezuzahs and dreidels, designed by Stavit Allweis and handcrafted in her studio, are contemporary, artistic works of art, that express these Jewish rituals. They are colorful and bold in design.

Seeka originated in 1997 from the love story of two Israeli artists colliding in New York. In their home studio, while raising a young family, Nachshon Peleg and Stavit Allweis launched Seeka. To the age-old craft of Judaica, Nachshon brought advanced technological solutions while Stavit infused traditional symbols with playful strokes of color and liberal use of found objects.

The Mezuzah case is used to protect the Shema Yisrael Prayer scroll and makes it possible to attach it to the doorpost. Traditionally, the Shema is handwritten on parchment by a scribe along with two additional paragraphs from the Torah. Placing the Mezuzah on the door is considered a Mitzvah, which is derived from Deuteronomy 6:4-9 "inscribe them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates."

Seeka mezuzahs and dreidels portray the customs and beliefs of the Jewish faith. Several mezuzah designs feature Jewish wedding traditions, such as the chupa or a full Ketubah text. Others are visual reminders of Torah writings - of Noah, Moses, or the Tribes of Israel. Doves, Torah Scrolls, and Trees of Life are just a few of the other icons the artist uses to create objects that are functional works of ritual art. Each mezuzah includes a photocopy along with an English translation and mounting instructions.

Handmade in the USA.
