The history of Czech Jews from the 10th to the 18th century is illustrated here with the aid of some of the Prague Jewish Museum's most precious objects, including silver Torah shields and pointers, spice boxes, and candelabra; historic tombstones; and fine ceremonial textiles—some donated by Mordechai Maisel to the synagogue he founded. The richest items come from the late 16th and early 17th centuries, a prosperous era for Prague's Jews.
