Ars Judaica is an annual publication of the Department of Jewish
Art at Bar-Ilan University. It showcases the Jewish contribution to
the visual arts and architecture from antiquity to the present from
a variety of perspectives, including history, iconography,
semiotics, psychology, sociology, and folklore. As such it is a
valuable resource for art historians, collectors, curators, and all
those interested in the visual arts. In this volume, Sarit
Shalev-Eyni considers the Mahzor as a cosmological calendar, while
Katrin Kogman-Appel looks at the work of Elisha ben Abraham, known
as Cresques, in fourtheenth-century Mallorca. Evelyn M. Cohen
discusses a surprising model for Charlotte Rothschild's Haggadah of
1842 and Ronit Sternberg examines sampler embroidery past and
present as an expression of merging Jewish identity. Jechezkiel
David Kirszenbaum's exploration of personal displacementis the
subject of an article by Caroline Goldberg Igra, and the Great
Synagogue on Tlomackie Street in Warsaw one by Eleanora Bergman.
The Special Item by Sergey R. Kravtsov and Vladimir Levin is
devoted to Perek Shirah on a wall of the Great Synagogue in
Radyvyliv. The volume also includes book reviews and an
appreciation of the life of Alfred Moldovan by William L. Gross.
