1702 Hand Holiday Jan Luyken Jewish Jewish Religion Keep Keeps Listeners Pulpit Rabbi Reads Rejoicing Role Sukkot Synagogue Torah
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Synagogue where a rabbi reads" we are transported back to the year 1702, witnessing a moment of profound significance within the Jewish religion. The image beautifully captures the essence of simhat, or rejoicing, as a rabbi stands at the pulpit in a magnificent synagogue. The focal point of this scene is undoubtedly the Torah, held delicately in the hands of the rabbi. This sacred scroll represents not only the law but also serves as a symbol of unity and spiritual guidance for all who gather in this holy space. As listeners keep their eyes fixed on him, their faces reflect both reverence and devotion. The setting itself exudes an air of sanctity - from intricately carved wooden details to vibrant stained glass windows that bathe everything in ethereal light. The bimah, or elevated platform, elevates both physical and metaphorical perspectives as it becomes a stage for divine teachings. This particular occasion seems to coincide with Sukkot, known as one of Judaism's most joyous holidays. Simchat Torah celebrates not only the completion but also the beginning anew of reading through the entire Torah cycle. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece by Jan Luyken, Daniel van den Dalen, and Hendrik van Damme from 1702 – expertly preserved by Quint Lox – we are reminded once again of how art can transport us across time and immerse us in moments rich with cultural heritage and religious fervor.
