Description
This beautifully handcrafted Torah pointer is full of meaning and detail. Shaped like a miniature Torah, the Gelila Yad features Hebrew script engraved from top to bottom. The unpainted pewter gives it a timeless feel, with a chain at the top and a pointing hand at the end.
The word Gelila (גלילה) refers to the ritual of rolling the Torah scroll. The designer's intent was for the pointer itself to look like a rolled-up scroll. To achieve this effect the Hebrew letters are engraved as an all-over pattern from top to bottom.
The script is meant to provide texture and symbolism rather than a readable sentence, representing the entire Torah and the Hebrew language as a whole.
The letters are meticulously scaled, getting smaller as the pointer narrows toward the hand at the bottom, mimicking the dense columns of text on a real parchment.
