About the Item

A Brass Hanukkah Lamp produced by the French ORT School in Strasbourg during the 20th century is a noteworthy artifact that combines religious significance with educational and historical context: ORT (Organization for Rehabilitation through Training) is an international network of schools and training programs that historically focused on vocational education and training for Jewish communities. Founded in Russia in 1880, ORT expanded globally, including to France, where it played a crucial role in educating Jewish youth. ORT worked with local Jewish organizations to roll out vocational training courses and to find employment for newly arrived German refugees. ORT stayed in France during the Second World War and maintained facilities in 20 French cities. The fact that this Hanukkah lamp was produced by the French ORT School in Strasbourg places it within the broader context of Jewish educational efforts in Europe during the 20th century. ORT schools not only provided vocational training but also preserved Jewish cultural and religious traditions, including craftsmanship related to religious artifacts like Hanukkah lamps. Hanukkah Lamp is fashioned in the classic Art Deco style with geometrically shaped parts built in a classic design. The choice of brass reflects both the aesthetic preferences of the time and the craftsmanship of the school and the artisans involved. This Brass Hanukkah Lamp illustrates the educational initiatives of ORT and their impact on Jewish communities in France. It represents a blend of artistic craftsmanship, religious tradition, and educational mission, highlighting the resilience and cultural continuity of Jewish life in Europe during a period marked by significant historical events and societal changes.
