Jewish Collectible Bobbe Knitting

This Jewish collectible displays a Bobbe Knitting a garment. Small figures of people from different cultures are an excellent way of capturing the essence of what their lives were all about. In Jewish folklore, there are many stories about the Jews of eastern Europe, their suffering, their struggle to make a living as well as their striving to rise above it all and to simply rejoice. Their inner victory was not only a triumph for themselves but also a symbol and source of inspiration for further generations, hence the popularity in modern times of these figurines. A joyful image of a Hassidic musician, a child learning Torah, a Hassidic Rabbi deep in prayer or a simple child at play all remind us that we can always draw on our inner resources to face any challenge presented to us by life.
