Museum Donation

Decorative silver plaque adorned with two lions flanking a central shield inscribed in Hebrew, framed by elegant floral and leaf motifs.

Inscription: “For in this day shall atonement be made for you, to cleanse you from all your sins that are before you, before you shall be cleansed” (Leviticus 16:30)

In honor of Temple Emanu-El’s 175th anniversary, the Men’s Club donated a 19th century Yom Kippur Belt Buckle to the Herbert & Eileen Bernard Museum. We hope this beautifully crafted silver piece will be enjoyed by all who visit our magnificent museum. The object will be on view when the museum reopens.
