EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Cylindrical Torah Scroll Case, Tripoli, Libya, 1935: A Testament to Jewish Heritage and Craftsmanship 2. Description: This photograph showcases a cylindrical Torah scroll case, crafted in Tripoli, Libya, in 1935 by the renowned silversmith, Raphael Aton. The intricately designed case, now part of the Israel Museum's collection in Jerusalem, is a stunning example of the rich Jewish heritage in Libya and the artistry of Jewish goldsmithing during the 20th century. 3. Background: The Torah, the sacred text of the Jewish faith, is traditionally housed in an ornate scroll case, known as a "Tzurah" or "Mantel." The cylindrical design of this Torah scroll case is unique to the Jewish community of Libya. The case is made of wood overlaid with silver sheet, featuring exquisite repoussé work. 4. Inscriptions: The surface of the case is adorned with biblical citations, a common practice in Jewish art. In addition, the case bears the name of the donor, Bercusa, in memory of her late husband, Solomon Raccah, and the year of donation, 1935. 5. Significance: The inscription on the case is written in Hebrew, reflecting the deep connection of the Jewish community in Libya to their faith and heritage. The Torah scroll case serves as a tangible link to the rich history of Jewish life in Libya before the mass emigration of Jews following the country's independence in 1951. 6. Legacy: This masterpiece by Raphael Aton is a testament to the enduring influence of Jewish art and craftsmanship on the cultural landscape of Libya and beyond. The Israel Museum in Jerusalem preserves and showcases this precious object, ensuring that future generations can appreciate the beauty and significance of Jewish art and history.
