KEHILLAT HA-KODESH: CREATING THE SACRED COMMUNITY : THE ROLES OF THE =
RABBI, CANTOR, MOHEL AND SHOHET IN JEWISH COMMUNAL LIFE : AN EXHIBITION, =
DECEMBER 18, 1996-APRIL 17, 1997
New York City: The Library, the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, =
1997
Softcover, 8vo, 70 pages, 22 cm. Includes 58 color and black/white =
images.=20
Kehillat ha-Kodesh was an exhibition which examined the offices of =
rabbi, shochet (ritual slaughterer), mohel (circumciser) and cantor. =
These professionals were appointed by the community to enable Jews to =
fulfill the basic ritual requirements of everyday life. They served both =
as leaders and teachers: not only did they perform rituals on behalf of =
the community, but they trained and certified the next generation of =
leaders as well, ensuring continuity of Jewish life. The exhibition =
brought together visually outstanding works that illustrated these dual =
roles and engaged viewers in an exploration of the material culture =
created by these professions and preserved by the library. Kehillat =
ha-Kodesh consisted of magnificently decorated documents, historically =
significant manuscripts and rare printed books showcasing these =
professionals as pillars of Jewish communal life. Many of these objects =
had never before been exhibited; the exhibition allowed a glimpse into a =
rarely seen segment of the library's outstanding collection of =
illustrated broadsides.
Highlights of this exhibition include lavishly decorated broadsides =
created in honor of the circumcision ceremony and documents associated =
with eminent leaders of the Jewish community, such as, a semikhah =
(rabbinical ordination) issued by Hayyim Yosef David Azulai and a =
magnificent shechitah and bedikah certificate given to Samuel ben Isaac =
Luzzato by the Jewish community of Venice, 1768. In addition, a richly =
detailed portrait of the diversity of Jewish life is clear through such =
fascinating documents as an extremely rare shehitah kabbalah granted to =
a woman to practice ritual slaughter in Mantua, 1581 and an unusual =
milah book written in Barbados in 1765.
