Happy Passover! In the spirit of the holiday, I’d like to share with you a wonderful feature, “Out of the Box: Four Unique Passover Items,” produced in partnership with the Center for Jewish History.Housed at the Center are tens of thousands of boxes in Yeshiva University Museum’s and our partners’ archival and collections. The Out of the Box series showcases some of the remarkable treasures and stories tucked away inside these boxes. In March, we had intended to highlight – firsthand and in person – some of the over 230 Passover items, spanning over 200 years, that are conserved in YUM’s collections. Due to our temporary closure because of the coronavirus, we brought, with the Center’s help, this conversation into the digital world.Bonni-Dara Michaels, YUM’s Collections Curator, discusses a few of her favorite Passover items from the collections. Check out the video through the link below, and then read the short interview with Bonni-Dara about what it’s like working with these unique artifacts.Thank you, Bonni-Dara for sharing your insights on these works with us; to the Center for producing this feature; and to Michael Bettencourt for posting it on YU News here (or you copy and paste the following link: https://blogs.yu.edu/news/out-of-the-box-four-unique-passover-items/).
