Featured on this magnet is Sampler (Paul Tannenbaum) by Elaine Reichek, which is included in the Jewish Museum's collection and currently on view.
In Reichek's hand-embroidered samplers, she employs the craft of sewing while incorporating terse and sometimes humorous quotations that confront her complex Jewish identity. Reichek imbues this historically female practice with a critical voice that such articles of domesticity traditionally suppressed. On this sampler is the quote "I never think about being Jewish until I leave New York -Paul Tannenbaum".
