Description:

Since 1996 the Jewish Museum in Prague has been researching certain Czech and Moravian synagogues that were supposed to contain the so called genizot (sg. genizah). These are the places where damagedand cast off writings andsynagogual objects that might had contained the Hebrew name of God. Such objects were habituolly considered as needing protection from the incompetent hands. This was accomplished exactly through their retention in genizot, or thorugh their rituál burial. Up to now, bigger or smaller genizot háve been found in Luže, Bezdružice, Všeradice, Úsov, Březnice, Zalužany, Kdyni, Janovice n. Úhlovou, Rychnov n. Kněžnou and Holešov. The textile objects were disinteredfrom six of them. The greatest collection contained the genizah in Luže that included also an extraordinary collection ofbig synagogual textile (curtains and mantles) and a great number of personál objects (smáli talii ts and cidakles). Next to this one, as far as the extent is considered, are the collections from Březnice and Rychnov n. Kněžnou, single textiles had showed up in Zalužany, Holešov and Bezdružice, in other localities the textile objects were not found. The oldest textiles dáte back to the middle of the 17th century, the youngest to the end of the 19th century. To the most important findings of the synagogual textile belongs the curtain from Luže from the year 1652, collection of mantles from the same locality, from theyears 1688 and 1691, or a beau-tiful mantle from Březnice from 1758, with linen lining decorated with bound batik. These objects represent for us important evidence of the decoration and technology, ušed in given time period especially in the country. An extraordinary importance has the circumsicion apron from Luže, the only onepreserved in the country, and the collection of cidakles, smáli tallits worn over the clothes, that in all localities také the form of a smáli vest with elaborated buttoning. Also these cidakles had not showed up in our collections before. Concerning the technologies and textile production, the evidences of bound and vax batik are wery interesting, even though these might had been ušed secondarily, and objects made from the remainders of cotton prints containing identification stamps of the producers.
