Could you define "cheirophant" for this poor collectible stuffed animal and his spouse?

A Chasidic hierophant.

(I have actually no idea; from its component roots (χείρ / χεῖρον, φαίνω), it looks either like someone who knows sign language or someone who always has bad news. Neither of which, I'm quite sure, is correct.)
