EDITORS COMMENTS
The Jews in London (litho) captures a vibrant and diverse community steeped in tradition and faith. This print, created by J. M. Belisario in 1837, offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of Jewish life during the late 19th century. In this scene, we witness various aspects of Jewish religious observance taking place across the bustling streets of London. The Feast of Tabernacles is depicted with fervor as worshippers don their garb of prayer and gather at Bevis Marks Synagogue to celebrate this joyous occasion. Meanwhile, a solemn Jewish burial procession moves through Dukes Place, reminding us of the cycle of life and death that unites all communities. The print also showcases significant rituals such as the Day of Atonement where individuals are seen putting on phylacteries - small leather boxes containing sacred texts - symbolizing devotion and repentance. Additionally, we catch a glimpse of the concluding service at Aldgate where priests bestow blessings upon congregants. Amidst these religious ceremonies, everyday life continues with people going about their daily routines against an intricate backdrop engraved with meticulous detail. Belisario's lithograph serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical document; it immortalizes moments that were integral to London's Jewish community while shedding light on their customs for generations to come.
