Libi BaMizrach Wall Clock

Libi BaMizrach Wall Clock carries on its face the words that open one of the best-known poems of longing by Rabbi Yehuda HaLevi: Libi BaMizrach VeAnochi BeSof Maarav (My heart is in the East, and I am at the edge of the West). The words are engraved on the central tablet, ringed by rows of cream-toned stone inspired by the Western Wall. In place of numerals, the hours are marked with Hebrew letters: Yud-Bet at the top, Gimel, Vav, and Tet around the sides, a small detail that turns every glance at the clock into a Hebrew moment. A pair of black hands with fine calligraphic ornament completes the picture and gives it the character of an ancient script. The clock hangs in the living room, the study, or above the home bookshelf, quietly recalling where the heart belongs. A gift with depth for a housewarming, for new immigrants, or for anyone who lives far away with Jerusalem close to the heart.

The stone is natural; tones and veining vary slightly from piece to piece.

Dimensions: width 20 cm, height 20 cm.

Handcrafted from authentic Jerusalem stone, in a slow process that gives it a hue and texture unlike any other.
