Jewish News Syndicate – Currently on display at Yeshiva University’s exhibit, “The Golden Path: Maimonides Across Eight Centuries,” are artifacts with a personal connection to the great Jewish luminary, Maimonides. Items include manuscripts in Maimonides’s own hand; a Mishneh Torah (code of law that revolutionized the study and practice of Judaism) signed and personally approved by Maimonides; a fragment from the Cairo Genizah with Maimonides’s signature and other fragments in his hand; and a volume of his commentary on the Mishnah, containing notes written by Maimonides and a well-known sketch of the Temple Menorah, which may have been drawn by the sage and has in recent decades become the model for menorahs used in public Hanukkah celebrations across the world.
