SOFTWARE: Fabric Treasures of Jewish Tradition, Commemoration, and Celebration from the Permanent Collection of the Temple Judea Museum
DESCRIPTION: Museum showcases were filled with woven, stitched, embroidered, and painted cloths from the most humble of homemade tallit bags to the grandest of Torah covers and huppot (marriage canopies). These fabric treasures range in age from the 17th century to the present day, and represent religious usage, historic commemorations, the Holocaust, family traditions, folk art, and even the Masonic Link. This special collection represents an important treasure of Jewish ceremonial art.
