Based on research done for her master’s thesis, Ms. Addison has compiled a lecture/slide presentation exploring the origin of Jewish ceremonial objects used in the home. Ms. Addison discusses major holidays and celebrations, as well as the ceremonial objects used in their observance. The presentation also reviews rituals, superstitions, and religious requirements for individual pieces.

Through her lecture she hopes to educate both Jews and non-Jews about this aspect of Jewish cultural heritage. The 50-minute presentation includes approximately 100 slides.
