Jüdisches Museum München Alles hat seine Zeit Rituale gegen das Vergessen

In the course of our lifetime we are confronted with various rites of passage – transitions between two phases or conditions of life. From birth, childhood, school, majority, independence, marriage, and old age to death, as well as by means of annual holidays we move from one phase to the next, from one condition to another. The exhibition catalog To Every Thing There Is A Time. Rituals Against Forgetting is devoted to selected Jewish rites of passage and their specific implementation as well as their origins and meanings. Photographs by the New York artist Quintan Ana Wikswo refer to the historical dimension of memory and its ritualization. The some 60 ceremonial objects from public and private collections largely come from the south of Germany. All the rites of passage examined are universal in character – after all "the course of life" poses the same "eternal" questions to all humans and has a unique significance for each individual or for the community that is not to be forgotten.
