Jews from across the globe celebrate this holiday together with friends and family, often reading from the mahzor, a special prayer book.⁣ ⁣ On loan to The Met from the the Jewish Theological Seminary library, the extraordinary Rothschild mahzor offers a window into the religious and visual lives of Jews during the Italian Renaissance. ⁣ ⁣ Commissioned by the Gallico family in Italy in 1490, it includes all the prayers not only for Rosh Hashana but the full order of prayers in the entire calendar year, each page with ornate illustrations and decorative motifs.⁣ ⁣ The two pages currently on display guide the reader into a mindset of contemplation as the current year concludes and reflection on the new year ahead. ⁣ ⁣ Visit The Met Fifth Avenue to see it on view—and stop by often as the pages of the mahzor are turned every three months. ⁣Tap the link in bio to learn more. ⁣ 📖 Rothschild Mazhor (Italian, 1490).
