Illustrated Daily Prayer Book
Following his retirement, Hijman Binger created a daily prayer book, drawing its texts from well-known sources and illustrating the manuscript with the help of his children. Completed in 1820, the prayer book is a striking example of a handwritten, illuminated Hebrew manuscript from the early nineteenth century.
