Even for the People of the Book, ceremonial art is rich with meaning. Object Lessons: Seven Ways to Understand Judaica, will connect objects to the celebrations and observances for which they were created, and then look beyond function to search out the multiple meanings they embody.
Objects of particular interest to us are those that include personal or family stories or interesting histories, those that are used for new and innovative rituals, and items of exquisite or unusual craftsmanship. Objects that are "homemade" or are modified to extend their use beyond their original purpose are also of interest.
Examples:
*Miriam's Cup
*Family written (or community authored) Haggadah
*Miriam's Tambourine
*Women's tallit
*Car mezzuzah
*Items related to health and well-being
*Tu B'Shevat seder items
*Omer counter
*Passover cleaning set
*Items relating to Confirmation ceremonies
*Items related to Yom HaShoah and Yom HaAtzmaut observances
*Decorations for a sukkah
*Anything you think is unusual or especially beautiful, as long as it is used in a Jewish ritual or ceremony
The JMM is always adding to our diverse collections. Here is a list of the top items we are currently searching for:
* Interior photographs of the Lloyd Street Synagogue in use during the Baltimore Hebrew Congregation, St. John the Baptist , Shomrei Mishmeres or Jewish Historical Society of Maryland eras.
* Photographs and memorabilia from Jewish high school fraternities and sororities.
* Photographs, memorabilia, letters or stories written about the Chanukah House
* September 1976 (or later) Tips & Taps employee magazines from Hutzler's
* Information or photographs related to the Beth Jacob Softball League
