| description | "The dramatic version of The Jewish Home Beautiful was originally presented ...in 1932, with Table Exhibits that appeared in the Women's League Outlook in 1933. The narrative version of The Jewish Home Beautiful ... was presented at the National Convention of the Women's League at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Atlantic City in May 1940. Most of the photographs of the tables in this book were taken at that time. The dramatic version ... was presented at the Joint Sisterhood Assembly in the Temple of Religion at the World's Fair in September 1940." From The Jewish Home Beautiful, which consisted of a script for a pageant and collection of recipes. The pageant was to be presented by mothers and their married daughters. By sharing the role of hostess at each of the holiday tables in the pageant, they would symbolize "the transmission of the tradition from one generation to another." The purpose of the pageant was to "urge every mother of Israel to assume her role as artist, and on every festival, Sabbath and holiday, to make her home and her family table a thing of beauty as precious and elevating as anything painted on canvas or chiseled in stone... A little skill and love and understanding can transform the humblest surroundings into a sanctuary more holy and beautiful than the house decorated elaborately, but without love and intelligence and religious warmth." Betty Davis Greenberg and Althea Osber Silverman, The Jewish Home Beautiful (New York: New York Women's League United Synagogue of America, 1941). | - |
