ROSH HASHANAH
No. 5
(From the picture): " Rosh Hashanah 1938. This was the last Rosh Hashanah service that my zayde, Chaim, and his neighbor, Baresh--the two patriarchs of the village--conducted. Shabbos and holiday services were always conducted in Shmuel's house, one of the largest and nicest in Mniszek. Most of the furniture was removed, and the Torah was placed in a closet draped with curtains."
Embroidery and fabric collage, 1996.
32"W x 42"H.
Gallery narration by Esther's daughters.
