Michal Nachmany exhibit at NYC's Central Synagogue offers a selection of 'Healing Art' images inspired by the artist's many collections of amulets and talismans. Centuries ago that was your Pharmacy: you went to the talisman maker, a religious scribe. You shared your intimate concerns.
A protective object, customized just for you or your loved ones, was made. (Heal my baby! Protect my child at birth! Find me a husband! Help me bear a child! Cure my husband! Protect me from evil spirits! Bring me financial security!)
