Stunning

This is a book of great beauty. The large format, single page photographs are a feast. The comments on the facing page are apt and cut to the chase. They are comprehensive enough to be educative. For more information one needs to go to another sort of book and format. This one is like a beautifully laid out museum. Apart from the sheer pleasure of perusing this book and the knowledge I gained, I felt I was gently being led to appreciate how development and diversity characterises a tradition, in this case the Jewish one. The book is massive. But don't let that deter you.

The Jewish Art Book for the home

This is a book of photos that represent the Jewish Ceremonial Art Collection of a Chilean Couple;Jacocbo and Asea Furman. Each page has a full size photograph of the object and a detailed description of it on the other page. The art is beautiful and the range is wide. The only slight flaw in this book is that I would have included more of the collectors notes. They were fascinating. This is a top rate book and I am pleased it is in my collection. Libraries should include this as an art reseach item and it is fabulous for a coffee table.

WONDERFUL!

IT WAS ENTERTAINING AND FUN TO READ AND I ENJOYED THE PICTURES VERY MUCH.
