(More Than a Card, July 1, 1992)
Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights, celebrates the victory of the Jews in their battle for religious freedom in ancient Israel. The window story book is a Chagall-like depiction of the former Warburg mansion, home of The Jewish Museum, with a fiddler on the roof. Open the eight numbered windows in sequence on the mansion to reveal the wondrous story of the Maccabee heroes. The Jewish Museum, founded in 1904, is the largest museum devoted to the study of Jewish culture in the Western Hemisphere, and its collection is one of the three finest in the world. Since 1947 The Jewish Museum has been housed in the landmark Warburg mansion on Fifth Avenue in New York City. The window story was co-produced by The Jewish Museum and More Than A Card, Inc. under the auspices of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America. It measures 11 x 15 and has an easel back. It comes in a resealable poly bag.
