SUMMARY:Exhibit: “Binders of the Covenant”—Torah Binders from the Memorial Scrolls Trust
DESCRIPTION:“Binders of the Covenant” brings to life the story of Torah binders from the Memorial Scrolls Trust. The exhibit spotlights 25 historic binders that survived the Shoah and explores their significance for European Jewry\, genealogy\, and why they have relevance in today’s world. \nIn 1964\, 1\,564 Torah scrolls arrived at the synagogue building in Knightsbridge\, London. These sacred survivors of the Shoah had survived a journey from small towns and large cities in Bohemia and Moravia\, the land near Prague\, to a new life in the Jewish diaspora. The Torah scrolls are now part of the Memorial Scroll Trust. With the scrolls came also hundreds of Torah binders used to wrap the actual parchment under the ornate Torah cover. Many\, typically hand-sewn by women\, offer biographical inscriptions creating tangible connections with the families–men\, women\, and children–of the past. These Torah binders make up one of the largest collections of this sort in the world. \nThe exhibition “Binders of the Covenant” at Fordham University\, curated by Warren Klein\, Amy Levine-Kennedy\, and Magda Teter\, is the first time that these precious textiles will be shown in the United States. These historic binders will be shown alongside photographs of the towns from which some of them came by Sheila Pallay and contemporary interpretations of this tradition through the fiber art of Rachel Kanter. \nThe exhibit is made possible by the Hadassah Ruth Weiner Fund for Jewish Art at Fordham\, the Henry S. Miller Judaica Research Collection Endowment\, and the Henry S. Miller Student Research in Jewish Studies Endowment\, and the Memorial Scrolls Trust. It is co-presented in partnership with the Leo Baeck Institute of New York.
