- Scope and Content
- Accession consists of material documenting a Congregation Darchei Noam's Community Quilt Project. Miriam Bester, a member of Congregation Darchei Noam, described the project this way: "Unable to meet in person at Darchei Noam, our community needed an outlet to express feelings and emotions about this unique time in our lives. The squares illustrate these feelings and also, provide our artists, with an opportunity to come together as a community, to create something larger than each individual contribution. It has been cathartic and energizing. We plan to sew them all together and display them at Darchei Noam when it is possible to do so."
