When new Emojis rolled out for the iPhone last month (including the Israeli flag!), we got to thinking – there aren't enough Emojis for Jews. Be it for the multitude of holiday greetings or just texting with your mother, a visual aid would make your conversation that much easier.

So we devised a list of 18 "Jewmojis" that we think need to exist, sketched them up, and provided "hypothetical" examples of how they could be used in conversation.

If you like them, share this post and let's get them made for real!
