Product Description
Experience Jewish Holidays and Life Events as they have been experienced throughout time and throughout the world, with this elegant CD-ROM set containing much of the rich collection of Judaica and Jewish ethnography from The Israel Museum of Jerusalem. Starting with the museum's curator cards and authoritative documentation and explanation, with videos, sound tracks and virtual image magnification your "museum" experience will be informative and life-like. An invaluable tool for understanding the beauty and traditions of the Jewish Cycles of Life throughout time.
The CD-ROM provides us with a uniquely interactive and personal experience of the Museum's collections, which are among the largest and most comprehensive in the world. Using a multifaceted approach that reflects the richness of the Jewish tradition, the program introduces users to the history of the objects, while simultaneously placing them in a contemporary context. Every subject offers a variety of artifacts from diverse communities and from different periods. Both the influence of surrounding cultures and the continuity of Jewish tradition over time and space are made manifest as you navigate the program.
This CD-ROM collection was made possible through the generosity of Isidore and Anne Falk. It was prepared over the course of four years of planning, research, collecting sources, writing, and designing. This program will provide many hours of enjoyable viewing, serving as an educational tool and an inspiring way to explore the Jewish heritage and the rich collections of the Israel Museum.
