The Judaica and books section portrays exceptional pieces such as an Anti-Semitic figurine of a praying Jew whose mechanism mocks the 'shuckling' motion, books belonging to Hasidic giants such as R. Yechezkel Shinover and a prayer book of R. Izikel of Antwerp.
Our art gallery includes works by Avigdor Aricha and Yossele Bergner as well as an oil-canvas by Mane Katz.
Archival material related to Zionism includes thousands of handwritten stencils from a personal archive from the pre-war era as well as many documents containing records of the Zionist movement in Palestine.
There are quite a few of preliminary works on the Bible in Latin, highlighted by a rare full first edition of Bernard Picart's Cérémonies et coutumes religieuses de tous les peuples du monde (1723-1737) which includes hundreds of engraved illustrations.
