GROUP SHOT! I WANT DOUBLES!! - FROM THE MAX STERN COLLECTION, PART 4  These three “buddies” are part of a silver Hanukkah lamp (menorah or hanukiah) in YU Museum’s dazzling Max Stern Collection of Judaica. This particular lamp did not use candles, but wicks submerged in a oil; these three “forms” are each one of those oil holders (we’re looking at their bottom views). A Hanukkah lamp / menorah / hanukiah is the central object in the holiday of Hanukkah, an eight-day long festival that falls in December during which time Jews recall and celebrate miracles from the war between the Macabee-led Jews against the culturally-(ancient) Greek Jews in the land of Israel thousands of years ago.

AN UNDERSEA FOREST OF SILVER - FROM THE MAX STERN COLLECTION, PART 3  It looks like the outside of a dazzling undersea grotto… until you see the lion on the right…  It’s not a sea lion.  These images feature parts from silver spice boxs in YU Museum’s dazzling Max Stern Collection of Judaica. Spice boxes are a typical and often decorated form of Judaica sculpture. They are used during Hazdalah, the ceremony that marks the end of the Sabbath, and the fragrant spices in the box help to rouse our souls as we transition into what Elvis Costello referred to as the “Working Week.”

WE ALL LOVE ACCESSORIES Decorations and accessories have been in the human world for quite some time. What makes one accessory stand out more than the other is the creativity put into the piece. This pendant displays two motifs shared in Jewish and other artistic styles: the dove and the hamsa, both signs of peace. What do you think the significance of placing the dove and a hamsa on top of one another in a single image? Pendant. Bernstein Bernard, 20th century, silver. Collection of Yeshiva University Museum (2008, 128). Gift of Bernard Bernstein.

DREAM BIG OR GO HOME-BACK TO SCHOOL! College is the opportunity of a lifetime. In addition to providing great friends and inspiring teachers, higher education helps you to nurture your dreams. Dream big this semester…Dream of being an artist like these students! Photograph showing men and a woman seated in a brightly-lighted room. In the center of their chairs are three benches, one topped by a pot on three feet; the second with a classical bust of a man (the poet Homer); the third with striding lion. An older man stands by the chair of one of the students. At the far end of the room is a six-pointed star above a cabinet containing busts. #37. Slide. Technicum (Technion) - Drawing [class].
