Historic Parallels in Jewish History
Excerpt from Historic Parallels in Jewish History: A Discourse Delivered at the Anglo-Jewish Historical Exhibition, 16th June, 1887 This mighty memory is enshrined in the historic tablets of the Jewish people. No other people on earth can compare with this in the duration of its historical memory. It has seen the lofty forms of antiquity rise and pass away. It has lived through the wild chaos of the Middle Ages, which pressed on it like a mountain, and it has helped to cause this chaos to vanish like the visions of a dream. It has seen the dawn of Modern Times arise, and this same people, almost unchanged, has a hold upon the present, bound into a community by holy memories and religious ins...
Historic Parallels in Jewish History
Excerpt from Historic Parallels in Jewish History: A Discourse Delivered at the Anglo-Jewish Historical Exhibition, 16th June, 1887 Every one knows the myth of the Wandering Jew who wanders wearily through the world without sleep or rest, waiting with yearning for the Last Judgment that shall give him salvation and the repose of the grave. The myth has spread through all the lands of civilisation, and has produced a whole literature.

The Jewish Museum
In The Jewish Museum: History and Memory, Identity and Art from Vienna to the Bezalel National Museum, Jerusalem Natalia Berger traces the history of the Jewish museum in its various manifestations in Central Europe, notably in Vienna, Prague and Budapest, up to the establishment of the Bezalel National Museum in Jerusalem. Accordingly, the book scrutinizes collections and exhibitions and broadens our understanding of the different ways that Jewish individuals and communities sought to map their history, culture and art. It is the comparative method that sheds light on each of the museums, and on the processes that initiated the transition from collection and research to assembling a type of collection that would serve to inspire new art.
Jewish Ritual Art in the Victoria & Albert Museum
This is the first catalogue of Jewish artefacts housed in the Victoria & Albert Museum, London. For an institution with no specific Judaica department the V & A Museum has made a significant contribution to the history of Anglo-Jewry, and to Jewish art history. Few other museums started collecting Jewish objects as early as the mid-19th century, so a study of the V & A holdings gives an idea of what items of ritual art were being offered for sale in the last century. The V & A collection can also be used to demonstrate the changing attitudes towards Judaica over the last 130 years.
