.14th century
Apparently made of metal, and in the
shape of a star, the light is pictured in
front of the Ark. The candles have tiny
wicks, each of which is above an oil
reservoir. When lit, the candles would
appear like a circle of light.
#26) If you were looking for a career in
the Middle Ages, you probably weren't
thinking about making it as a bar or bat
mitzvah party planner.
Everyone regarded seriously the day a
boy turned 13, or a girl became 12, for
this was the time each became an adult.
But there's no record of
any bar or bat mitzvah
celebration — of any
kind — back then.
#27)Medicine was the
most popular profession
among Jews in Medieval
times.
#28) Despite the popularity of Jewish
physicians, however (some of whom
were so renowned that they served the
court), Jewish women of the Middle
Ages never went to a doctor to have their
babies. They called the midwife.

#29) There's no record yet of a 1-800
number (first five minutes free!), but like
gentiles of the time, Medieval Jews were
fascinated by astrology and other forms
of fortune telling, including palmistry.
In fact, only one Jewish leader stepped
forward to denounce it as nonsense —
Maimonides. All this looking to the stars
does have its good point, though. Some
of the leading astronomical research of
the time was done in Spain, where
almost every scientist in the field was
Jewish or every research group included
a Jew.
(Passover) is one of the most
popular scenes depicted in Jewish manu-
scripts of the period.
And if you thought the thorough
cleaning families do today before the
holiday is new, think again. Many of
these manuscripts show men and
women scrubbing and mopping and
working tirelessly to rid their homes of
any bit of chametz (leavened bread).
Manuscripts also picture families making
charoset. If you would like to try your
own version of a Medieval charoset
recipe, combine almonds, apples, dates,
figs and apples.
