Chuppah for our sons | Tora-mantle (L.J.G. Gelderland) |
|

The chuppa (wedding canopy) made for the Jewish Museum Berlin (opened in September 2001). The chuppa standing in the permanent exhibition about Jewish life represents the four seasons and refers also to the stages in human life. The inside of this symbolic "house" is made out of manipulated and embroidered tyvek "bricks".

Love, "Ahawa" stands for summer, the colors are flamboyant. |
|
|
Autumn is the period of the Day of Atonement and the start of the Jewish year. We hope for Peace. "Tikwah" is hope. |
|
|
On each side a Hebrew word emphasizes the feeling of the period. On the spring side it sais: "Mazal" which means happiness. |

Winter recalls the Shoa. "Zikaron" - remembrance. We will never forget. |
