Description
Miriam's Cup honors women's role in Judaism and the Exodus. Moses' sister's name decorates the sides of this handmade goblet in English and Hebrew.
No Seder table is complete without Miriam's Cup.
Miriam's Cup is filled with water instead of wine and serves as a symbol of Miriam's Well, which was the source of water for the Israelite's in the desert.
Putting a Miriam's Cup on your table is a beautiful way of making your seder more inclusive. It's also a way of drawing attention to the importance of Miriam and the other women of the Exodus story, women who are sometimes overlooked. Miriam's Well is said to have been a magical source of water that followed the Israelite's for 40 years. The waters of this well were said to be healing and sustaining.
Miriam's Cup is completely and loving handcrafted in Pennsylvania from pewter and brass and measures 4.75" H x 2.25" W in each side.

Joy Stember is a metalsmith who builds modern Judaica by scoring and folding sheets of pewter into three-dimensional forms, then embossing texture into the metal. She earned her BFA in Metals from the Tyler School of Art at Temple University and took summer workshops at Penland, Haystack and Arrowmont. Her father, a fine jewelry designer, mentored her in design, craftsmanship and business.
The turning point came in the winter of 2010. Home from a Taglit Birthright trip to Israel, she felt a stronger connection to her culture and her identity as an artist, and she opened the Joy Stember Metal Arts Studio to make contemporary Judaica full-time. The studio is in Abington, Pennsylvania.
Her clean lines draw on mid-century design and the repetition of urban landscapes. At ModernTribe that includes Gila mezuzahs in patterns like Alef Bet and Stone, the modular Leah menorah, a Negev menorah that interprets the hills over the desert, and wedding shards mezuzahs and candle holders that keep the glass broken under the chuppah. She won the 2012 NICHE Award in the Judaica division.
