Jewish ceremonial art
Array of objects used by Jews for ritual purposes / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jewish ceremonial art is objects used by Jews for ritual purposes. Because enhancing a mitzvah by performing it with an especially beautiful object is considered a praiseworthy way of honoring God's commandments, Judaism has a long tradition of commissioning ritual objects from craftsmen and artists.[1]
