Spanning across the ages, from ancient artifacts to contemporary creations, this exhibition beautifully underscores the profound significance of Torah reading within the Jewish faith. Explore the diverse craftsmanship that has shaped these instruments of prayer and gain insight into their role as a guiding hand in the spiritual journey of the Jewish community.
