Lead with what sets it apart: a Jewish New Year greeting card that pairs Moses with a menorah and a pair of lions, a combination of biblical and ceremonial imagery that is not typical of the Lord's Prayer or Ten Commandments themes on this board. Such postcards were widely mailed in the early twentieth century, when illustrated cards for Rosh Hashanah and other holidays circulated among Jewish families in America and Europe as a way to send greetings across distances. Moses, who received the Ten Commandments, stands as a symbol of law and covenant, while the menorah recalls the temple and Jewish tradition, and the lions evoke the Lion of Judah and the tribal imagery found in older Jewish art. Look closely at how the card blends devotional symbols with the decorative style of its period.
