Our community is looking to commission some new
textiles suitable for our Grade II Listed building.
The heart of our sanctuary is the reading table from
which prayers are led and the Torah is read. The original cloth used on that
table is now looking tired and we have the opportunity to create something new
– and more interesting - in memory of a remarkable, sadly recently deceased,
member of the community, the art historian Shulamith Behr (Courtauld Institute,
author of Women Artists in Expressionism: From Empire to Emancipation).
We are looking to replace the cloth visible below. And also commission a second
version of the cloth that would be used for the High Holydays, when the
Synagogue ‘changes its clothes’ to wear white. We would expect also to replace
the light-shades also visible in photo below both for year-round and High
Holyday use.
Rough measurements are per the photos below.
We would welcome expressions of interest at this
time. Please contact Rabbi Jeremy Gordon, rabbi@newlondon.org.uk
with some examples of work and any initial thoughts.
