When walking into a home one can often tell right away that a Jewish family lives there. The reason for this is that we often see an array of ritual objects connected with Shabbat, holidays, and life cycle events.
Jewish ritual objects are reminders of Jewish laws and traditions which can go back centuries in time. These objects are precious to their owners, whether they be individuals or synagogues, and, in many cases, are passed down from generation to generation.
Our display of ritual objects connects us to the synagogue, prayer, and the Jewish home. Many of these artifacts are priceless in terms of sentimental and spiritual value to their owners.
