A vibrant and richly detailed collection of vintage Hebrew Jewish-American cut-outs, beautifully capturing the essence of Jewish life, traditions, and rituals. Each cut-out is brilliantly colored and crafted with a realistic touch, portraying Jewish people engaged in a wide array of religious and cultural practices. Scenes include studying Talmud, wrapping tefillin, celebrating a joyous wedding, shaking the lulav during Sukkot, and blowing the shofar for the High Holidays. Intimate family moments are also depicted, such as blessing children on Shabbat eve and performing the Kaparot ritual with a chicken.
Several biblical scenes are masterfully portrayed, including Batya discovering baby Moses among the reeds of the Nile, adding a timeless, scriptural depth to the collection.
Unique to this collection are cut-outs symbolizing the Jewish-American immigrant experience, featuring moving depictions of Jewish arrivals on the shores of the United States. These images portray a warm embrace by America, represented as a woman or an elegantly attired figure embodying the United States, adorned with symbols such as the eagle clutching arrows and a shaft of wheat.
