Sefer Tehillim (Psalms), illuminated and decorated manuscript on vellum, Hanover: 1734
Nearly three hundred years after the invention of printing, the dormant art of producing decorated and illuminated Hebrew manuscripts experienced an unexpected revival during the eighteenth century. Usually commissioned by wealthy middle- and upper-class Jews, these illuminated and decorated manuscripts include haggadot, Psalms, and prayer books of several varieties.

Grab the hand of the person you reblogged this from to join in a Horah! The more that join, the further our dance will reach around the earth, eventually spanning far enough to embrace the whole of creation, hand in hand in simcha and song.
Marriage Dress, Michael Berkowitz, 2000
Originally designed as a wedding dress for Berkowitz's wife, the costume is made from white bridal satin. Fabrication of the garment was delaying the marriage, so it was never actually worn for that event.
The costume is covered with a series of inscriptions, primarily taken from the Book of Psalms. For example, the right sleeve bears the verse "God is your guardian. God is your shelter at your right hand" (Psalms 121:5), while the belt is inscribed "You have girded me with strength for the battle" (Psalms 18:40). Berkowitz has written, "Like so many in our modern society, I have looked for new ways to find transcendence, new ways to be religious. I have found it in my art. Using the context of the religion of my birth and my ancestors, I have built upon that base."
More photographs from the Salgรณtarjรกni Street Jewish Cemetery, which celebrated it's 150 anniversary last year. The cemetery is located close to downtown Budapest, but unfortunately is in ruined conditions, without prospects to being renovated or cleaned in the future. However in it's overgrown state, the cemetery still has a unique athmosphere.
Photographs by me.

Rabbi Avichail's photos from his visit to the Abayudaya Jewish community, Uganda 1994
In eastern Uganda, the Abayudaya have been practicing Judaism for over 100 years. Their name has its roots in the Luganda word for โpeople of Judahโ. Established in 1919 when a local chieftain began to study the tenets of Judaism, the community developed over time in the predominantly Christian and Muslim society. They became deeply connected to Jewish traditional and global Jewish peoplehood. In 1971 Ugandan dictator Idi Amin came to power and banned Jewish practice. Many were forced to convert to other religions. A core group of 300 Jews remained committed to their religion, practicing in secret. Today this number is closer to 2,000. The largest group is based in Nabugoye, where there is a synagogue and a Jewish primary and secondary school.

The Tzedek ve-Shalom Synagogue, at the Israel Museum, Jerusalem
Paramaribo, Suriname, 1736
Permanent loan from the Jewish Community of Suriname
Founded in Paramaribo, the capital city of Suriname, in 1736, the Tzedek ve-Shalom synagogue is a typical example of Spanish and Portuguese synagogues in the New World. The republic of Suriname - formerly known as Dutch Guiana - is a tropical country situated on the northern coast of South America, just above Brazil.
In the mid-17th century Jews of Spanish and Portuguese origin, who had fled to Holland during the Inquisition, were among the early European settlers in Suriname. They established sugarcane plantations along the Suriname River, to which they gave biblical names, and founded a village in the Savanna, which they called โJerusalem on the Riverside.โ Also referred to as the Jewish Savanna, it became the centre of this remote colony until the middle of the 18th century, when most of the Jews moved to Paramaribo.
Formerly situated in the middle of a large courtyard, the Tzedek ve-Shalom synagogue is a neoclassical wooden building, rectangular in shape and painted white. Flanked by three arched windows, the central entrance leads to a wide basilica-like hall whose salient features are typical of the Spanish and Portuguese tradition: The tevah is located opposite the Torah ark (heikhal); the benches for the congregants run along the walls, facing the centre, and among them are more prominent benches dedicated to the leaders of the community (parnassim) and the head of the community; and majestic brass chandeliers of Dutch manufacture, inscribed with the names of the donors who offered them to the synagogue, hang from the ceiling and between the colonnades. Allied with these features are others which are characteristic of the local, regional architecture, such as the plain, symmetrical structure; the white walls and large windows that invite the sunlight. The sand-coated floor is found in several other Spanish and Portuguese synagogues.
Directly inspired by the Esnoga, the great Portuguese synagogue of Amsterdam, the Tzedek ve-Shalom synagogue reverberates with old memories while embodying novel architectural features. It is a clear reflection of the character of the Jewish community of Suriname - a community that enjoyed relative freedom of worship and took an active part in the life of the surrounding society. ย

some more gay Jews for everyone to cry about
A rich exploration of the everyday lives of Jews in medieval Ashkenaz that demonstrates the value of collaborative research, Beyond the Elite effectively portrays Jewish communities as deeply connected with medieval Christian society, while also emphasizing how Jews sought to differentiate themselves or adapt Christian practices to their own tradition.
