FLOWER DETAILS - FROM THE MAX STERN COLLECTION, PART 1  These flowers are part of a silver spice box 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]. Yeshiva University Museum, New York (2009.435). Gift of Av Rivel

MLK “A true brotherhood of man … in our nation” In June 1964 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. answered a letter from Paula Pappenheim drawing similarities between the struggle for freedom and equality for African Americans and Jews.  King entreated Pappenheim to join the struggle to inspire a spirit of connection and humanity among all Americans, if not throughout the world. Letter from Dr. King to Paula Pappenheim, Atlanta, Georgia, 1964, Collection of Yeshiva University Museum, Gift of Lucy Lang

CAN’T GET ENOUGH OF HANUKKAH Ok, it’s been nearly a month since the Festival of Lights concluded, but we just can’t help ourselves, what with the smell of latkes STILL infusing the walls and furniture.  This unique Hanukkah lamp, made out of iron, can be seen as not quite kosher with its non-linear alignment of the eight candle holders, however, its interesting curvatures and minimaslic approach is quite enduring. Hanukkah lamp. Palombo, David (ca. 1950), Iron. Collection of Yeshiva University Museum (2006.262), Gift of Dr. Richard Klein.

WHO’S GOT THE HEAVIER LOAD?  This attractive silhouette was from a set of 10 postcards by artists Meir Gur-Arie and L. Zeidman, which depict and idealized image of street life of Jerusalem during the first few decades of the 20th century.  This one in particular seems to show water carrier walking between a goat (right) and a second person (perhaps a merchant?) traveling by donkey.  Thanks a bunch 16thstreet!
