This is an illustation from a children's book of Jewish holidays that was my mother's. It was published in 1928 and she received it as a gift in 1933 (by the inscription) from her father.
The illustrations are by the Jerusalem Bezalel artist: Ze'ev Raban. It is a wonderful book!Wishing everyone a Happy Holiday and New Year! (in case I don't make it back before 2010-I seem to be more hit and miss than I used to be :)

The book illustration is lovely, I like the framed picture and the festive clothing of the children. Little girls don't wear bows like that any more!
Beautiful book! Thanks for sharing!
Living it up at Lakewood,

I love your illustration.
I love menorahs! I love what they represent. To me it's a great symbol of faith.
Thanks you so much for sharing. I wish I could learn more about the jewish culture.
Those are fabulous and that illustration is amazing! I always think current illustrations are fine and dandy until I see the old ones...than I remember why I think the old ones are better!
I love the book illustration - it is such a lovely book. Have happy holidays

Love your vintage thingie.....what wonderful things to pass down through your family.
Your menorah is so beautiful, and I'm sure it has seen many, many celebrations! And that book looks like it's probably full of great illustrations. Both are such wonderful family heirlooms!

How sweet that you have that book and menorah. I've always been a tad envious that I'm not eligible to use a menorah :), what a meaningful tradition.
What wonderful things to bring out during the holidays.
Lovely illustrations and menorah. Happy Holidays!
great illustration: I love it!
