Through this project the Altman family and the Temple Judea Museum hoped to achieve numerous goals: to encourage artists to turn their attention to the Judaic object; to recognize and promote accomplishment in the arena of Jewish ceremonial art; to advance the dialogue as to how an object of ritual use is visually defined in the twenty-first century; and additionally, to promote awareness of the contemporary Judaic object among families, schools, synagogues, museums, and collectors as objects to be collected, used, and treasured in the observance of Jewish tradition.
