Scope and Contents
Postcards with no original order have been arranged by topical subject. The majority of loose postcards feature locations in Israel and Palestine. These include both urban and rural scenes, ranging from views of Haifa, Jerusalem, and Tel Aviv, to Judean Desert landscapes. A significant number of postcards depict Jerusalem, including neighborhoods, institutions, gates in the Old City, and the Western Wall. Other postcards feature images of synagogues, Jewish cemeteries and tombs, works of Jewish artists, holdings of prominent Jewish museums, Rosh Hashanah cards, images of rabbis, and illustrations of traditional Jewish clothing. All topics in this subseries include both black-and-white and color postcards, with the exceptions of Rabbis and Types.
