Friends-
Another excellent exhibition catalog for you: We are proud to offer this =
high quality publication which accompanied the outstanding exhibition of =
books, manuscripts, maps, and ephemera at the Library of the Jewish =
Theological Seminary here in New York:
Mintz, Sharon Liberman and Elka Deitsch. Curators
TOWARDS THE ETERNAL CENTER: ISRAEL, JERUSALEM AND THE TEMPLE; AN =
EXHIBITION, MARCH 5-JUNE 27, 1996, THE LIBRARY OF THE JEWISH THEOLOGICAL =
SEMINARY OF AMERICA
New York, Jewish Theological Seminary of America Library, 1996
Original Softcover. 8vo. 71 pages. illus. 23 cm. A catalog of materials =
in the JTS library related to Israel Jerusalem; dedicated to the memory =
of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin.=20
"The Land of Israel is situated in the center of the world, and =
Jerusalem in the center of the Land of Israel, and the Holy Temple in =
the center of Jerusalem..." (Midrash Tanhuma, Kedoshim 10)
This expressive midrash characterizes three spiritual centers of the =
world upon which countless generations of Jews have projected their =
hopes and dreams. The desire to reach these centers permeates almost =
every aspect of religious Judaism: its thought, custom and liturgy. The =
importance of these locations is emphasized even in the rules governing =
prayer: Jews in the Diaspora face Israel, Jews in Israel face Jerusalem, =
and Jews in Jerusalem face the Temple.
In a heroic effort to capture the physical and spiritual significance of =
these three centers, scholars, travelers and inhabitants of the Holy =
Land have produced a vast array of manuscripts, printed books, letters, =
prints and maps.
These tangible artifacts of Israel, Jerusalem, and the Temple serve as =
more than geographical descriptions or historical records; their many =
variations reveal the chroniclers' desire to synthesize the temporal and =
the spiritual.=20
Pictorial representations and descriptive words attempt to capture the =
full spirit of a land that for so long has been the subject of such =
varying expectations; even a consensus of its history is impossible to =
come by. The exhibition which accompanied this book viewed the Holy Land =
through an exploration of the images and words created during the last =
six centuries. Towards the Eternal Center is divided into three =
sections: Israel depicted in maps, Jerusalem represented in manuscripts, =
rare printed books and postcards, and the Temple depicted in prints and =
mizrahs.=20
SUBJECT(S): Manuscripts, Hebrew -- Exhibitions. Named Corp: Temple of =
Jerusalem (Jerusalem) -- Pictorial works -- Exhibitions. Geographic: =
Jerusalem -- Pictorial works -- Exhibitions. Jerusalem -- In art -- =
Exhibitions. Title Subject: Bible -- Manuscripts -- Exhibitions. New =
