Abstract:
For the first time, the collection of the Jewish community of Dubrovnik has been documented in a catalogue, published by Yeshiva University Museum in 1999. Fifty artifacts from the Dubrovnik synagogue, including ritual textiles from the late 16th - 20th century are described in detail, many with illustrations. Also includes a significant essay on the history of Jews in Dubrovnik - the first scholarly article on this topic in English, by Barisa Krekic, UCLA; an analysis of the ritual textiles by Desiree Koslin, Fashion Institute of Technology, New York; and a halachic analysis of the 12th century Torah Scroll, by Rabbi Chaim Chernoff.
