It started as a labor of love, when Jacobo and his late wife Asea began to collect these choice objects of superb personal taste. When experience and knowledge joined the love of ritual, a deeper understanding guided the collector's fervor. The result is an assembly of 136 valuable ritual and artistic objects of Jewish art. The collection is by no means a comprehensive one, but the variety is immense--from synagogue ritual objects to household ceremonial artifacts for the Sabbath and for Hanukkah, Purim, and other feasts and festivals.
