ttoM etitwa found, to the West or in Italy, the figure of Judith or Judas Maccabeus, in Prague the figures of Moses and Aaron.
In the East, the works are done mostly by Jewish masters, ia the West mainly by Christian masters, since the Jews were excluded from the craftsman's guild. Therefore, we find in the West a much stronger Influence of surrounding art and the Jewish symbols appear within an arrangement of beautiful but strongly secularized ornaments of the respective periods. As in all these sections, the Museum tries to connect the remote past with the living presence, thus modern pieces made in America or Eretz Israel are put on display along with the old works to show the tradition as well aa the modern approach towards the task of creating a beautiful Chanukah lamp.
