The first known buyer of an etching plate by Rembrandt, depicting \u003ccite\u003eAbraham Dismissing Hagar and Ishmael\u003c\/cite\u003e, was a Sephardi Jew of Amsterdam. Seen through their eyes, Rembrandt was the creator of images with a special meaning to Jews. They have been followed through the centuries by Jewish collectors, Jewish art historians, Jewish artists who saw their own deepest concerns modelled in his art and life, and even prominent rabbis, one of whom said that Rembrandt was a Tzadik, a holy man blessed by God. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is the first study in depth of the potent bond between Rembrandt and Jews, from his time to ours, a bond that has penetrated the image of the artist and the people alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments \u003cbr\u003eIntroduction – Mirjam Knotter and Gary Schwartz \u003cbr\u003eJews and Judaism in Rembrandt’s Own World \u003cbr\u003eSephardi Jewish Life and Material Culture in Rembrandt’s Time – Mirjam Knotter \u003cbr\u003eRembrandt and His (Jewish) Neighbors.
