This pewter Netilat Yadayim wash cup is durable and long lasting. The base is adorned with a pretty filigree design. What a meaningful gift for a bar mitzvah, wedding or hostess gift.
Netilat Yadayim – ritual washing of the hands – has its origin in the purity laws operating in the days of the Temple in Jerusalem. As the Priest washed his hands before beginning the daily service in the Temple so too, we wash our hands as soon as we wake up in the morning – rededicating ourselves to a new day of service to G-d.
