About Us
Who is behind Jewish Joy?
In 2016, Channan Tzvi (Kenny) started collecting Hamsas and began his journey reconnecting to his Jewish culture via the appreciation of this ancient symbol from a design based approach.
Hamsas of Munkatch, his design studio was founded in 2020 as a way to explore a personal connection to Judaism; and through his research he amassed an extensive collection of Judaica objects that Kenny realized could be shared with others, to allow them to experience some of the same joyful connection to the traditions - hence jewishjoy.co.
Why no Challah Boards?
There are many ways to celebrate Judaism - and this website is a bit different than your classic Judaica store that might only carry silver kiddish cups and wooden mezuzahs. These types of items already exist at other retailers or might be something that you may have inherited from a family member. We hope to compliment those pieces that you may already have in your homes with a variety of Judaica enhancements.
Our mission is to provide artistic items to our customers that inspire a personal connection to the joys of Judaism. We aim to achieve this by focusing our efforts on common traditions and cultural highlights of Judaism and celebrating them in an inclusive manner.
We try to source from other small businesses and Judaica artists who create one of a kind items.
A Bissle Ungepatchka | a little over the top
An important part of the joy that Channan Tzvi (Kenny) found in Judaism stems from the artistic imagery that can be seen throughout history on a variety of artifacts. People have always celebrated their love for Judaism through art and design and we continue that tradition.
With that in mind, we also embrace some of our Hungarian heritage and acknowledge that sometimes you need a bissle ungepatchka to liven up an otherwise contemporary living environment and reinvigorate your mind.
We know that not everyone will appreciate all of our pieces, but we hope that those of you who enjoy them LOVE THEM!
