Czyżby w Izraelu też mieli swoją rzepkę, którą zasadził dziadek w ogrodzie...? Ale wygląda raczej jak gigantyczna marchewka. Trzeba się zapytać Dany. Ma dzieci i wnuki, więc powinna wiedzieć.  :)

With the spread of Emancipation in the late 18th century, Jews emerged from the ghettos into which they had been confined, and were recognized as equal citizens. Their synagogues were now magnificent and prominent buildings. In this way, the Jews wanted to make a public demonstration of their equality, but at the same time to emphasize their distinctiveness as Jews they frequently adopted oriental styles of architecture. The main such activity was in Germany where 200 fine synagogues were erected in the 19th century, only to be destroyed by the Nazis in the 2Oth. A famous example of this type of synagogue is the Tiempo lsraelitico in Florence, a landmark even in that city. The oriental motifs can be clearly seen in its dome, turrets and horse-shoe arches and the theme is carried on in the interior with its multicoloured mosaics and tiles. Prominently displayed on its exterior, as in many of these buildings, were the two Tablets of the Law, seen as of more universal import than the seven-branched candelabrum favoured in previous ages.

The Wing for Jewish Art and Life is represented by the stamp featuring a Synagogue Hanukkah Lamp, Eastern Europe, 18th Century. The large Hanukkah lamp (110 X 104 cm) standing on a cast-brass base was designed to stand by the Torah ark in the synagogue as a reminder of the Temple menorah. This type of hanukkah lamp was  typical of Central and Eastern Europe, and this particular item is among the oldest surviving examples of its kind.

Hanukka by Moritz Daniel Oppenheim (1800-1882)

Moritz Daniel Oppenheim was born in 1800 in Hanau near Frankfurt. He was the first Jewish painter to leave the ghetto to study art. He attended the Munich Academy of Art and afterwards went to Paris to continue his studies. In 1821 he moved to Rome where he spent the next four years. During this time he was close to the German group known as the "Nazarenes" and to the Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen who befriended him. In 1825 he returned to Germany and settled in Frankfurt. Here he became a well-known portrait painter doing portraits of Heinrich Heine, Ludwig Borne, Gabriel Giessen as well as of numerous members of the Rothschild family. A lengthy correspondence with Goethe whose "Hermann and Dorothea" he illustrated resulted in a visit to Weimar, where he was honoured by the Grand Duke Karl August with the title of "Professor". In later years he achieved fame through his series of pictures of Jewish family life which had an enormous popular aspect. In the eighteen sixties Oppenheim copied his paintings in 'grisaille' (black and white) for reproduction in book form. The book appeared in 1866 and was a great success.

The picture "Hanukka" reproduced on the stamp, belongs to the series of grisaille paintings. Oppenheim died in 1882.
