WISH WE HAD THIS PLATE
If you could make a Seder plate, or any kind of Judaica, what would it be?
Passover has already passed us over, but it’s not too late for us to admire this fantastic seder plate created by Morgan Levine, who happens to be the sister of YUM’s curator. Check out his post below, and follow him at zcurator.tumblr.com.
Thanks zcurator!
SEDER PLATE FANTASTIC - PLATE
This wonderful Seder plate, created by crafting/pottery phenom (and my sister) Morgan Levine was central to our family’s Seder - the ritual, interactive meal during which Jews re-enact the exodus from Egypt.
Morgan wanted to produce a version of this plate for years, but doing so presented a surprising number of technical conundrums. It was only thanks to some fruitful collaborations at Maine’s Haystack, the famed ‘summer camp for artists,’ that Morgan was able to produce this otherwise light and airy piece.
Can’t wait to use it next year!
Thanks morganlevine!
The Seder plate I made last summer making its debut. Happy Passover!!




![THE HOSTESS WITH THE MOSTESS - AREN’T WE ALL BACK TO SCHOOL?
For those who started their fiscal year in January, how about now settling down and celebrating (hopefully) the success of the past year! This postcard shows a group of Jews c. 1917 dressed up in their smart clothes and socializing (perhaps discussing plans to support their favorite museum that start with a Y and ends in an eshiva University Museum [hint hint])?
