Custom Vezakeini Plaque
A custom Vezakeini plaque, hand-painted in oil, that hangs by your licht. The Vezakeini tefillah sits on top, with each child's Hebrew name and personal pasuk written below.
Many mothers daven from theirs during licht bentschen, year after year, name by name. A meaningful gift for a new mother, a wedding, or a family milestone. Some families spell it V'zakeini, Vizakeini, or Vzakeini; this is the personalized painted plaque with names and pesukim.
Before painting begins, Avigail reviews the Hebrew names, the amount of text, and the design direction so the finished plaque stays readable and beautiful. The goal is a piece of Judaica that feels like it belongs in your home, not a piece chosen from a shelf.
Important to know
Once the plaque is painted, the design is final.
The plaque is a finished work of art, and future children cannot be added later. Many mothers wait until their family feels complete before commissioning their piece. Most clients list only their own biological children, with spouses and grandchildren understood to be included in the heart of the tefillah. Spouses and grandchildren can be added if you prefer.
There's a natural limit to how much text fits beautifully on one plaque. For larger families, a more minimal approach often reads best. Avigail will talk you through it before you commit.
