神圣的空间:犹太教堂建筑与身份
2023年10月26日- 2024年3月7日
即将到来的JTS凯时国际网站展览, 神圣的空间:犹太教堂建筑与身份, offers an exciting opportunity to view a large selection of rare prints depicting historic synagogues. 这次展览由塞缪尔. 格鲁伯和莎伦·利伯曼·明茨, will trace the history of European synagogue styles from the 17th to the 19th century, exploring how the image of the synagogue was used by Christians and Jews to present often conflicting ideas of Jewish identity. 这42张图片都是从书籍中挑选出来的, 艺术照片, 杂志, and newspapers—showcase a wide range of synagogue types. 值得注意的是, the pace of production of these images accelerated in the 19th century, when we first encounter Jewish architects of synagogues, 以及描绘他们的犹太艺术家.
The exhibit will feature images of synagogues from the Netherlands, 英格兰, 法国, 奥地利, 和德国, 以美国海岸为终点. Images of the latter will allow us to consider how this pictorial tradition would evolve in a country of immigrants that boasted of religious freedom and cultural pluralism.

在纽约以意第绪语生活
This exhibit introduced visitors to rare archival materials that provided a snapshot of New York City as an important center of modern Yiddish culture. 从1880年到1924年, approximately two million Eastern European Jews immigrated to the United States. Many of them settled in New York City, which by 1914 was home to 1.4 million Jews, among them the world’s largest urban population of Yiddish speakers.
Materials on display include examples of the ways Yiddish-speaking Jews responded to the challenges of their new home, 同时也保证了意第绪文化的延续. Through this collection of historic images and documents, visitors will witness the living Yiddish culture of one of the world’s greatest cities.
