Jewish people and their customs and traditions
These postcards were illustrated with photos of Jews
from around the world (Yemen, Algeria and other of Islamic
lands, Poland, Greece and other countries) dressed in their
colorful contemporary dress. You can see the Jewish quarters and
the daily life of Jewish people. These postcards were then widely
distributed, providing European and American Jews with various
aspects of Jewish culture and history (contemporary dress,
interiors, family rituals, religious celebrations and special customs)
You can see a free collection of about 140 postcards that supply
a historical view of Jewish daily life, contemporary dress, household
interiors, family rituals, religious celebrations and special customs,
both religious and secular mainly from late 19th to an early 20th-century.
Please send us any available pictures of Jewish customs and life
related postcards to add to our collection. We plan create online picture
gallery from all available pictures.
