jewishhenna:kuttithevangu:I keep forgetting to check where it’s been reproduced from butI love this Corvidkuttithevangu this is SO gorgeous!! Where did you get it? It’s an archival photograph (I’m guessing by Alois Breyer) of a panel of the Gwoździec synagogue, one of the most famous of the painted wooden synagogues of Eastern Europe. It was destroyed by the Nazis but reconstructed a few years ago for the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews (a super cool project which a bunch of my friends were involved in — they made a film about it which I highly recommend!). You can see a photo of this panel under construction here, and the finished reconstruction here (your corvids are on the left).Another well-known one is the Chodorow synagogue, reconstructed at Yad vaShem (more here).And the quote at the bottom is really cool too — it’s from the Talmud (BT Berakhot 6b): Rabin b. R. Adda taught, in the name of R. Isaac: “If one is accustomed to attend synagogue [daily] and one day does not go, the Holy Blessed One inquires about them. For it is said (Isaiah 50:10): Who among you is in awe of the L!RD, obeying the voice of G!d’s servant, even if they walk in darkness and have no light?” -- source link
