EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating woodcut print, "SABBATH PREPARATIONS, 1663" takes us back in time to a 17th century Dutch household. In this intimate scene, we witness the lighting of Sabbath candles, an essential ritual in Jewish tradition. The image is extracted from Leusdens Philologus Hebraeo-mixtus, a publication that sheds light on the cultural and religious practices of its time. As we delve into the details of this artwork, we are transported to a bustling kitchen where women clad in aprons diligently prepare for the sacred day ahead. Their faces reflect devotion and reverence as they carefully light the candles adorning an elegant candelabra and candlestick. The setting exudes warmth and coziness with its rustic interior design. We can almost smell the aromas wafting from pots simmering on the stove while imagining loved ones gathering around a dining room table nearby. This woodcut offers us a glimpse into daily life during this period—where housework intertwines with religious observance. It serves as a reminder of how deeply ingrained rituals were within domestic routines centuries ago. "SABBATH PREPARATIONS" not only captures historical authenticity but also celebrates diversity by showcasing Judaism's rich heritage within Dutch society at that time. This remarkable piece invites contemplation about our own traditions and their significance in our lives today.
