@exeterunispeccoll.bsky.socialReposted by @seethetreasures.bsky.socialToday is the International Day for Universal Access to Information.
There are many reasons why we preserve archives and rare books, but the most important reason is to give *everyone* the opportunity to access the information within them, now and in the future.

@seethetreasures.bsky.socialSukkot is a week-long harvest festival which also commemorates the Israelites' 40 years wandering in the wilderness.
Households build sukkahs, three-walled shelters with a view of the sky, and many will eat their meals in them throughout the week.

📷 'In the Synagogue' by Alfred Wolmark, 1906, Oil on canvas, Ben Uri Collection 2013-01 (c) The Estate of Alfred Wolmark
@seethetreasures.bsky.socialAaron Wolmark was born in Warsaw, Poland in 1877, and moved to England with his family in 1883. He added 'Alfred' to his name while he was studying at the Royal Academy. Wolmark was a pioneer for being an early modernist and for his portrayals of the Jewish community in London’s East End.
@seethetreasures.bsky.socialYom Kippur is the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. Although it is a day of fasting, repentance and self-examination, it is not a sad day. Five prayers from the Machzor are recited over 26 hours in synagogues across the world.
@seethetreasures.bsky.socialG’mar Chatima Tova 🔯 At sundown on Sunday, Jewish communities begin marking Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement.
This painting, titled 'In the Synagogue' is by Alfred Wolmark, is in the collections at Ben Uri Gallery & Museum.
