The Uveeler Collection

The Luba and Mark Uveeler Collection was assembled through devoted efforts that spanned several decades and countries. This is the work of people who loved traditional Jewish art in all its facets: in the synagogue and in the home, for the Sabbath and for holidays. They wished to construct a collection that showed the creative richness of diverse styles and communities. In donating the collection to the Hebrew University, the Uveeers desired to have it placed on permanent display at the entrance to the central library on Mount Scopus. Their aim was to enrich all those entering the building with a source of visual and cultural inspiration.
