Abstract:

The North Carolina Museum of Art is the only state gallery in the United States with a permanent collection of ceremonial Judaica displayed as art. The permanent Judaic Gallery is the result of a six-week exhibition, “Ceremonial Art in the Judaic Tradition” by guest curator Abram Kanof. He initiated a fundraising campaign and contributed a number of pieces from his personal collection.
