One of the rarest collections of Jewish silver in the world was presented here to Boston University by Daniel and William Weisberg, local Jewish philanthropists. The collection includes 70 filigree handwork, in elaborate and intricate design, preserving the rich symbolism of religious significance.
The gift was made by the Weisberg brothers in memory of their father, Samuel. A provision of the gift will make it possible for the synagogues in Greater Boston to borrow pieces of the silver for use in special holiday observances and ceremonies.
