"The multiyear project is centered around three themes: #sacred space, sacred community and sacred time. First Light is inspired by sacred time, which focuses on #lifecycle events and #holidays in the #Jewish calendar. The #museum staff worked with curator Warren Klein, the director and curator at Herbert & Eileen Bernard Museum of #Judaica, to come up with the idea for an exhibit on birth.
“Of course, there’s a universal resonance there,” Amanda Gordon, the museum’s director of public engagement, said. “But really First Light is all about examining Jewish #birth traditions and different observance practices, how they’ve evolved, but also different kinds of aesthetic craftsmanship ideas.”
