Cradling Art: The Wimple (A 400 year old folk tradition) and Influences on 20th Century Jewish Art.

It is made from swaddling cloth used to bind a baby at his circumcision.  Contemporary artist Sharon Binder will use these and other examples from the Beth Tzedec Reuben & Helene Dennis Museum's collection to demonstrate the link with work of Judaica artists in Israel and North America.
