Metal has often been a material of choice when fashioning Jewish ritual objects. A long history of metal artisans can find their roots back to biblical sources. Many different metals have been used, from precious like gold and silver, to common such as brass and steel. One can observe in the sanctuary of a synagogue a menorah, the crowns atop a Torah, or a decorative metal sculpture holding an eternal light. In our homes, we have many metal objects that are used for both Jewish celebration and decoration. In our metal gallery, you will find a sampling of such artifacts.
