Torah Ark Curtain, 1830. The ornaments on the Torah ark curtain of Polish origin are the inscriptions on all four sides of the frame. The letters are cut out of silver plate. The text captures the name of the donators and the occasion: Jákob’s son, Izsák Taubes and his wife Bella, donated to the community in 1830, on the occasion of the birth of their son, Jakab. Along with the birth of their son, the couple also commemorated the deceased parents of Bella: Lord, remember Jakab Menkes and his wife, Jetti, for whose salvation/ soul their daughter and son in law made this donation. The valuable object was given to the collection in 1912 by József Hatvany, president of the Israelite Hungarian Literature Society, who founded the Museum.
