There’s something so special about choosing the Judaica that will fill your first home together as a married couple.
The kiddush cup you’ll reach for on Friday nights, the menorah you’ll light each Hanukkah, the ketubah that will bring back happy memories of your wedding day every time you glance at it on the wall – all of these pieces and more are part of what shapes the atmosphere of a Jewish home. And while the Judaica that fills your home connects you to ritual and tradition, it should also feel like you.
That’s exactly why we’re so excited to introduce you to Tchotchke, a design-forward Judaica brand creating pieces designed for modern Jewish homes.
Tchotchke was founded by husband-and-wife team Anna and Adam Paskow after planning their own wedding and realizing they couldn’t find Judaica that reflected their style – or the kind of home they wanted to build together.
They saw a gap: much of the category felt overly formal, ornate, or out of step with modern life. Their answer was a collection of Judaica that feels fresh, elevated, playful, and meaningful -designed to be lived with and displayed year-round.
And we love the name, too. Tchotchke reclaims the joy of small treasures – objects that carry meaning and spark delight while still being beautiful.
Why It Matters to Choose Judaica That Feels Like You
A wedding is the beginning of a shared home – and few decisions feel more personal than choosing the objects that will mark your rituals, holidays, and the everyday moments that make a life together.
Judaica often becomes the most used and meaningful category couples choose as they build their home. These are the pieces you return to again and again – and choosing them together, as a reflection of who you are and the aesthetic you share, makes them even more significant.
Ketubahs as Artwork
Tchotchke ketubahs are designed to feel as considered as the rest of your home. Contemporary and artful, they’re meant to be framed and lived with – not stored away.
Tchotchke’s original designs are created in collaboration with internationally recognized artists, designers, and illustrators, with a range of styles from minimalist to romantic to graphic.
Multiple text options and customization are available, making each piece deeply personal – and a true expression of your taste as a couple.

From Smash to Stained Glass
Tchotchke Smash Glasses elevate one of the most iconic moments of a Jewish wedding. Hand-blown in Brooklyn and available in a range of beautiful colors, each one bears signature swirls – a small mark that means no two are ever exactly the same. They photograph effortlessly under the chuppah.
After the ceremony, couples can mail their shards directly to Tchotchke to be transformed into a stained-glass hamsa – turning a single moment into a lasting piece of art for your home. A keepsake pouch is included for collecting the pieces.
