Herbert & Eileen Bernard Museum of Judaica

Herbert & Eileen Bernard Museum of Judaica The mission of the Herbert & Eileen Bernard Museum of Judaica is to examine and engage with the intersections of Jewish history, culture and identity.

The museum collection, assembled over many decades, bears witness to the Temple’s past, as well as to a desire to understand ourselves as part of a world Jewish community. To this end, the collection features memorabilia and liturgical objects that come from our congregational family, as well as ritual and everyday artifacts that were a part of Jewish life throughout the world.

On we take a look at this piece from our collection. An original watercolor by artist Zeev Raban for a Holocaust memorial. Designed by Raban in 1945, the central image is a large figure of Moses with a snake entangling him. The snake is market with swastikas surrounded by burned buildings. An open Torah scroll and books lay on the ground. Biblical questions from Psalms and Lamentstions surround the image.
