Judaic Art in Context
The collections of liturgical objects held by various
religious organizations in Canada represents
one of, if not the, strongest segments of art within the country. The
influence of these objects on the daily lives of Canadians has
been documented by several historians yet present generations
of Canadians have limited access to viewing these artistic creations.
The intention of the Art in Context
project was to digitize examples of Judaic art objects from
the Aron Museum, located within one of the oldest
synagogues in Canada,
the Temple Emanu-El Beth Sholom, in Montreal, Quebec.
