Sayid Dabbah, who immigrated to Israel from Cairo, Egypt, with his wife and three children, is the scion of four generations of silversmiths. While destitute, but with great determination, Sayid with his son Avraham, founded and established Dabbah Judaica in 1974 as his life's dream, a silversmith with his own factory specializing in Jewish art. In 1985, his youngest son Benny, who was born in Israel, joined his father (Sayid) and oldest brother ( Avraham). With great patience and persistence the three of them established a studio in Hutzot Hayotzer, Jerusalem, which displayed handcrafted artistic religious articles in silver. In its creations, Dabbah's Sterling Silver Judaica incorporates many traditional and modern elements which are well known in the field of Jewish art. In 2004 Dabbah Judaica opened a new gallery in central Jerusalem on Yoel Salomon Street, in an area of art shops and fashionable restaurants

The Hanukkah Menorah (or Hanukiah) is an eight-branched candelabrum lit during the eight-day holiday of Hanukkah. The ninth candle, called the shamash ("helper or servant"), is used to light all other candles. It is among the most widely produced articles of Jewish ceremonial art. Hanukkah celebrates the rededication of the Temple after the successful Jewish revolt against the Seleucid monarchy. The Jews found only enough ritually pure olive oil to light the menorah for one day, but the supply miraculously lasted eight days until a new supply could be obtained. In celebration of this miracle, the chanukkiyah has eight branches for eight candles or oil lamps, none higher than any other, except for one higher branch for the auxiliary candle, or shamash, which guards against secular use of the other lights and is also used to light them.
