Art is an element that appeals to ones senses. Whether it be music, literature, film, sculpture, or painting, art brings joy to people's lives. Throughout history people have always used art as a means of expression, and as a way to bring beauty to the world. This year we bring art in the forms of music, sculpture, and painting.

In this section, you will find many different artifacts with amazing background stories. You will find a sketchbook, a framed mirror made from a solid piece of wood specially engraved with initials, an ink drawing of a Menorah using words of Tehillim, drawn special for a synagogue in Brooklyn, a ceramic painting and a very old and precious mandolin.

When you hear about all of these interesting stories, you will be very eager to find out more about some things in your own household! Each of these artifacts have a very special thing in common- they were all handmade by our ancestors!
