This talk is already sold out, but I’m glad for any excuse to post exquisite eighteenth-century silver from Venice. And for readers celebrating, happy new year. –CH

Riva Arnold | Looking at the Jewish Ritual Art of Rosh Hashanah

The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 15 September 2026, 3pm

Join Riva Arnold, David Berg Foundation Senior Research Associate, to discover The Met’s Judaica collection with a focus on Jewish ritual art used in the synagogue. Timed with the High Holidays, a season rich in tradition and symbolism, this talk will examine exceptional works including a rare set of Torah finials from the Rothschild collection and an Italian Torah crown manufactured by silversmith Andrea Zambelli for an 18th-century Jewish community. The next tour in this series will be on 8 December 2026 in celebration of Hanukkah.
