Book Synopsis
The Torah pennants are an expression of individual creativity and personal belief as well as documentation of a deep connection to the community. A great feature of the Göttingen collection is the ability to assign almost all Torah pennants to specific people and families. With their expressive design, the 28 Torah pennants in the collection of the Göttingen Municipal Museum act as important evidence of Jewish culture in Germany far beyond the region. This inventory catalog has deliberately decided against purely scientific documentation of the collection. The focus is on conveying the information contained in the picture program on Jewish traditions and beliefs and showing the conditions of Jewish life over three centuries in a Christian society. In addition to this outlined context in which this collection must be viewed, the peculiarity and beauty of each individual pennant are equally important. The embroidery and paintings impressively convey not only the joy of the newborn child, but also the parental wishes and hopes for a happy life in the tradition of the community.
