EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled "Jewish Meal During the Feast of the Tabernacles" takes us back to a significant religious celebration in 1724. Created by Bernard Picart and now part of a private collection, this engraving showcases the rich customs and traditions observed during the Feast of the Tabernacles. In this scene, we witness a warm family gathering around a table filled with delicious food. The focal point is an elegant menorah, symbolizing light and spirituality. As they dine together, each member of the family engages in lively conversation and laughter. The artist pays attention to detail as he captures various elements that make this moment special. A mother tenderly breastfeeds her child while participating in the festivities—a touching reminder of nurturing love within Jewish families. Meanwhile, a curious cat sneaks underfoot, adding an element of playfulness to the scene. The Feast of the Tabernacles was celebrated for seven days as per Jewish tradition. It commemorates both historical events—such as wandering through wilderness after leaving Egypt—and agricultural harvests. This joyous occasion brought families together to express gratitude for their blessings and strengthen their faith. Picart's exquisite portrayal invites viewers into this intimate setting where generations come together to share not only nourishment but also cherished memories and spiritual connection. Through his artistry, we are transported across time to experience firsthand one aspect of Jewish culture during this important festival.
