The Jewish Museum in Athens
The history of Judaism is filled with descriptions of the beauty of the Temple and its vessels and ceremonial objects. Indeed, dedicating beautiful things to the “Glory of God”, whether for use in synagogues or in homes, is an essential part of the Jewish religion. As a result of the dispersal of the Jewish peoples, few of these works of art have survived, however, and comparatively little is known about this aspect of the Jewish heritage.
