STACK ANNBX s 026 125 ITECHAPEL lAKT GALLERY EXHIBITION OF jfcwisb Hrt and Hmiquities, NOV. 7 to DEC 1 6, 12 Noon to 10 p.m. ff PREFACE. IT \v;is in contemplation to hold a Jewish Exhibition in this Gallery in 1905. At first it was thought that the building might be placed at the disposal of a Committee selected from leading Jewish societies, who should organise and carry out the Exhibition more or less independently of the Authorities of the Gallery. The scheme as originally shadowed out was to hold a cosmopolitan and representative Show on much the same lines as the memorable Anglo-Jewish Exhibition held at the Albert Hall in 1887 ; save that it was proposed to widen the basis by including a Collection of Works by Jewish Artists, English and Foreign, and to invite the offer of exhibits from all countries. It so happened, however, that the Gallery was not avail- able during the Autumn of last year. Moreover, it was felt as the scheme developed that an undertaking so important and comprehensive demanded more space that this Gallery could afford, and a more central position in London than Whitechapel. It was deemed advisable, therefore, that this larger proposal should, temporarily at least, be put on one side, and that, instead, the Authorities of the Gallery should themselves organise an Exhibition of Jewish Art and Antiquities, on somewhat narrower and less ambitious lines than the original plan. It was further understood that they should have the assistance and advice of a Committee, chosen for that purpose, from members of the various Jewish societies. Such, then, is the origin of the present Exhibition, the objects of which are briefly these : 1. To gather together the rare, costly, and beautiful Appurtenances from the different Synagogues in London objects which most have read or heard of, and which, of course, to many of our Visitors will be quite familiar, but which will be strange to very many others, who will be as much interested in reading in their catalogue of their varied uses and import as they will be delighted by their beauty and splendour. In addition to these Appurtenances lent by the Synagogues there will be seen many beautiful exhibits associated with domestic devotion, which have been lent by the kindness of private owners. 2. To show, for the pleasure and interest of all, but specially of Scholars and Bibliologists, a Collection of Manuscripts and Books that are only, it is true, a fraction of what might have been exhibited had space permitted : but which have been selected with a view to their great interest and rarity. 1334964 3. To illustrate by a Selection of Portraits and a remark- ably interesting Series of Prints the history of the Jewish community in England since their re-admission, during the Protectorate of Cromwell. 4. To exhibit as far as space and funds would permit the Works of Jewish Artists, living and deceased. The examples shown are mainly by English Artists, but we have been so fortunate as to secure many pictures by Foreign Painters notably by the Nestor of Dutch Art the illus- trious Jozef Israels. The Committee take this opportunity of expressing their thanks to all who have so generously helped towards the success of the Exhibition by the loan of Objects and Pictures. Nothing could be more gratifying than the in- terest in the Exhibition shown by all, or the ready alacrity with which public bodies and private individuals have responded to the appeals made to them for assistance. NOTICE. Many of the brief explanatory notes in this catalogue have been taken from the admirable work corn-filed for the Anglo-Jewish Exhibition by Dr. Joseph Jacobs and Mr. Lucien Wolf. To those gentlemen ive beg to offer our best thanks for their courtesy in allowing full use to be made of their catalogue for the -pur-poses of the present Exhibition.

Throughout his history, the Jew has prized nothing more highly than that portion of the Scriptures which records the earlie'st traditions of his race, and contains his Sacred Law ; and he has marked his reverence for it by a lavish ornamentation of the Scrolls from which it is read during Divine Service. The scroll itself must be written, not printed or lithographed, nor must it be in book form, the ancient form of scroll being retained. The parchment (or leather) is attached to rollers with handles, termed " tree of life," by which the scroll is unrolled from right to left. When closed and about to be returned to the ark, it is tied securely by a band, which is often elaborately worked, and then is enclosed in a mantle to keep it free from dust. Attached to the top handles by chains is a breast-plate, on which is inscribed the name of the festival, or donor, or the Ten Commandments. Then comes the fainter, by which the reader follows the text. This is in- variably in the shape of a hand with outstretched finger. On the two tops of the handles are placed bells. Thus decorated, the scroll is enshrined in an ark which, in the synagogue, is generally a fine piece of joinery or ironwork, and in the home being of smaller size is more elaborate, sometimes even of silver studded with precious stones. And then, finally, a velvet or satin curtain is bung before the ark, on which figure suitable inscriptions and designs in bullion embroidery.

As the former was the foun- tain-head of his spiritual consolation in the evil days of his outlawry, so the latter was the source of all the human comfort with which his sorrows were soothed. The domestic religious exercises prescribed by his religion afforded many opportunities for enhancing the sacred character of his home, and enabled him to illustrate both his affection for the domestic hearth, and his reverence for his faith, by numerous ritual paraphernalia, in the design and con- struction of which the ornamental arts were largely em- ployed. SABBATH REQUISITES. The Sabbath is welcomed " as a bride " by the devout Jew. According to the Jewish proverb, " where there's light there's joy," the Sabbath Eve is ushered in by the lighting of the Lamp, the form of which is not fixed, but is often of seven burners. A cup of wine, the Kiddush Cup, or cup of sanctification, is tasted. The bread at the evening meal is of special form (Jlalla], and before use is covered with the Hallo. Cloth. The close of the Sabbath has also its own ceremonial (Habdalah), in which the Cup is used, and the senses are gratified" by the sweet savour of the Spice-box. LOWER GALLERY 19 FESTIVAL REQUISITES. The chief Jewish festivals that are celebrated in the home, and thus require special requisites are Passover, Taber- nacles, Hanuca (Feast of Dedication of the Temple), and Purim, or the Feast of Esther. The chief service of the Passover is that of the Passover Eve (Seder), when the Hagadah (the story of the Exodus) is read, with appropriate symbols. Four glasses of wine are emptied, bitter herbs are eaten, and the bread is unleavened. In the centre of the table is placed a cup for the use of the Prophet Elijah when he comes to announce the advent of the Messiah. The Feast of Tabernacles is celebrated bv residence in a booth (Succa), which is built with only leaves and boughs for a roof. There is used besides the Ethrog, or citron, and the Lulab, or palm-branch, to which is attached myrtle and willow, which have all their symbolic teaching. The Feast of Dedication of the Temple, when the Lam-p was miraculously kept alight for eight days, has for an appro- priate symbol an eight-branched candelabrum, to which is attached a master lamp (termed " the beadle "), making nine in all ; as many lamps are each evening lighted as the days of the feast that have come. Lastly, the feast that cele- brates the salvation of the Jews by Esther is appropriately celebrated by leading the record of her deeds in theMegilld, or scroll of Esther, which, from ancient times, together with the Hagadah for Passover, have been richly illuminated.

Scattered through all the nations of the civilised world, the Jews have had points of contact with every nation that has had a his- tory. The few specimens drawn from this wide field shown in the present Exhibition cannot profess to represent in any degree the whole field of Jewish antiquities, and only afford a glimpse of the much broader basis on which Jewish history itself rests. The collection is miscellaneous in character, and only admits of rough classification under the headings of MSS., Books, Inscriptions, Seals and Rings, Coins, and Medals. Among the best penmen of olden medieval times, Jews take their place in the ornamentation and illumination of their books of prayer, Megillah and Hagadah, and also Bibles were illuminated. Among the first printers thre were 22 LOWER GALLERY a number of Jews, and the oldest prints of the i5th and i6th centuries vie in elegance and beauty of execution with the masterpieces of non-Jewish presses. Spain and Italy boast of the first Hebrew printing establishments. Books were also printed on vellum. Woodcuts round the borders and woodcut illustrations and initials are not scarce in incunabula. Historical or family events have been recorded in medals struck for the occasion, mostly in the i8th and igth century. With regard to MSS. and BOOKS, which will be found in the Flat Cases around the walls, attention is specially drawn to the s-plendid collection so kindly lent by the Right Hon. the Earl of Crawford, K.T.; the Very Rev. M. Caster, Ph.D. (Haham); the Rev. Professor H. Gollancz, Litt.D.; Mr. E. N . Adler ; Mr. Israel Solomons, and others. For COINS and MEDALS, see Flat Cases Nos. 26 and 27. CASE 4.

Jewish betrothals used to be equally formal and binding as marriages, and Betrothal Rings were made equally ela- borate as Wedding Rings, which often contain the names of the wedded pair. The former in early times were used to surround a sprig of myrtle, whence their large size. At the wedding ceremony it is customary for the bridegroom to break the glass out of which the bride and he have drank the wine of sanctifiation. The marriage is recorded in Hebrew in the marriage certifiate (Ketubah). For KETUBAH see Large Screen in U-p-per Gallery. 1034 Ancient Bronze Ring, with "Seal of David" (Magrn David) incised upon it.

In literal obedience to the command " they shall be for a sign on thy hands and as frontlets between thine eyes " (Deut. vi. 8), Jews wear at times of prayer Tfphillin (phy- lacteries), or cases including the following passages Ex. xiii. 2-16; Deut. vi. 4-9, xi. 13-21. These are bound with intricate interlacing of the bands on the left arm and on the forehead between the eyes. Also in carrying out Numbers xv., 38, 39, garments are worn with fringes which are arranged to give the ineffable name the alphabetic value by the number of twists round the threads of the fringes.
