Jewish religious practice—the observance of Shabbat (the weekly Sabbath), holidays, and life cycle events—utilizes a wide range of ritual objects (often referred to as “Judaica” or Jewish ritual art). This exhibition features thirteen pre-World War II Judaica objects on loan from the Bernard Museum of Judaica, Temple Emanuel-El, New York City. The exhibition highlights objects that enhance the sensory experience of religious practice and the ritual engagement with sacred text.
