Description

Inside the small complex of the synagogue, in what was once the ghetto, stands the small museum of Jewish art and ancient history. The permanent exhibition collects objects left in storage by the communities of Vercelli, Asti and Turin and by many Piedmontese Jewish families. Of particular value are the gilded wooden Law Tables dating back to the 18th century. There is a rich collection of ceremonial fabrics from the seventeenth-eighteenth century, parchments and soric documents, prayer books and sacred furnishings. Two bas-reliefs representing the cities of Jerusalem and Hebron Aron Hakodesh, a large wardrobe containing the scrolls of the Law from 1787; chancel in gilded carved wood.
