A mizrach is a decorative wall plaque that marks the direction of prayer, and this one carries the Hebrew phrase "From the rising of the sun," a line drawn from Psalm 113 that is often read as a call to praise from east to west. The printed vignette of Jacob's Blessing sits beside the text, tying the inscription to the patriarch's blessing of his sons in Genesis. Mizrachim were hung on the eastern wall of a home or synagogue so worshippers would face Jerusalem, and printed versions like this one brought that custom into ordinary households across Europe and America.
