Je reviens d’Amsterdam et voudrais partager avec vous dans cette suite de quelques post la vie juive que j’y ai découverte. Je parlerai dans ce post de la communauté sépharade d’origine portugaise…

[image spliced together from screencaps] "A Mizrah (Hebrew for "east") is a decorative plaque placed on the eastern wall of a home or synagogue to orient the direction of one's prayer toward the city of Jerusalem. The most beautiful examples of these plaques were often made by Jewish folk artists, using the demanding and exacting technique of excising small bits of paper from a large sheet, leaving an elaborate image that adds an entire new dimensionality to the artwork being created. When wielded by a skilled craftsman, the papercutter’s knife produced the most elegant and striking mizrah plaques of all.

A very rare example of East-European synagogues working in their primary function, as a place workship, a memento place and venue for cultural events, as well, and being in an extremely perfect state.
