Judaism in a teapot

A Reddit user put pictures of what he calls “A hidden synagogue” online. It’s a teapot that can be converted to be used for all major Jewish ceremonies. He inherited it from his grandfather.

It breaks apart to become a spice holder, a dreidel, a menorah, the eternal flame, a seder plate, Shabbat candlesticks, and more.

While the beauty and ingenuity of the teapot is breathtaking, it is a reminder that Jews have always had to struggle to worship God and live our lives as Jews.

There are many more pictures at the link. Thanks to my friend Rachel M., who sent me the link. It’s currently on the front page at Imgur. And not too many offensive comments, yet.
