In 1995 they were united into a new independent wing. Over the years, the wing's holdings have been strengthened through gifts and acquisitions of individual objects, gifts of private collections, and fieldwork within communities in Israel and abroad. The wing's prominent collections are the Stieglitz Collection and the Feuchtwanger Collection for Jewish ritual objects, Torah scroll ornaments, and life cycle objects, as well as the Schulmann Collection and Rathjens Collection for North African and Yemenite material culture, dress, jewelry and ritual objects. </p><p>The wing's collection contains many unique treasures, among them, are rare manuscripts, four reconstructed synagogue interiors, a wide variety of ceremonial and ritual objects, as well as diverse material culture including dress, jewelry, and everyday artifacts. </p><p>In the new permanent display, important objects drawn from this extensive collection from the public and the private realm, are integrated into a multifaceted narrative. This comparative display explores the objects' history and the social context in which they were used while underscoring their aesthetic qualities and emotional resonance. It reflects a vivid cultural tapestry weaving together the individual and the communal, the sacred and the mundane, the heritage of the past and the creative innovations of the present. </p><p>Five principal themes unfold as you walk through the galleries: </p> <ul><li><b>The Rhythm of Life: Birth, Marriage, Death</b> – highlighting the coexistence of joy and sadness, life, and death, memory and hope at each of these junctures in the life cycle.</li> <li><b>Illuminating the Script</b> – a display from our collection of rare medieval and Renaissance Hebrew manuscripts, shedding light on their history and revealing their artistry.</li> <li><b>The Synagogue Route: Holiness and Beauty</b> – Four restored interiors of synagogues from Europe, Asia, and the Americas, along with Torah scroll ornaments, show the unity and diversity of Jewish religious architecture and ritual objects.</li> <li><b>The Cycle of the Jewish Year</b> – The sanctity of the Sabbath and the traditional celebration of religious holidays, as well as the new commemoration of special days in the State of Israel, have given rise to a wealth of finely crafted objects and imaginative artworks.</li> <li><b>Costume and Jewelry: A Matter of Identity</b>- Environment, custom, and religious law all play their role in creating the rich variety of Jewish dress and jewelry from East and West presented here.<sup id="cite_ref-17" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Isidore_and_Anne_Falk_Information_Center_for_Jewish_Art_and_Life">Isidore and Anne Falk Information Center for Jewish Art and Life</h3><span class="mw-editsection"> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Israel_Museum&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Isidore and Anne Falk Information Center for Jewish Art and Life" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> <span class="minerva-icon minerva-icon--edit"></span> <span>edit</span> </a> </span> </div> <p>The Information Center has a research library and a unique archival collection, constantly growing, of some twenty thousand photographs.
