Greeting cards for the Jewish New Year<\/h3>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_column_text]While the Beguinage remains closed for renovation, the Erasmus House is putting an unusual object from the vast historical, archaeological, folk art and religious collections of Anderlecht\u2019s municipal museums on display each month.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”top” content_text_aligment=”left”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”13081″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]The Jewish New Year is a religious holiday called Rosh Hashanah<\/em> in Hebrew. It commemorates the creation of the world and corresponds to the first day of the month Tishri, when the Jewish calendar year starts.
\nThe three greeting cards are paper masterpieces combining delicacy, perfection, and refinement. These lacy confections of cut-out and embossed paper also have the distinction of being pop-up cards: the images pop up or move when they are opened!<\/p>\n

How did they end up in the Erasmus House collections?<\/h6>\n

When in the early 1930s Daniel Van Damme (1893-1967), the founder and first curator of the municipal museums, was tasked with putting together collections illustrating the borough\u2019s local history, Anderlecht was home to a large Jewish community, most of them part of the Eastern European diaspora who had settled in Cureghem.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
