It explores how the spiritual blends with the profane life, how the rite combines with the ordinary, and what happens when the collective and the intimate tie together.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exhibition consists of three complementary paths. The first immerses us in the universe of&nbsp;<strong>Charlemagne Palestine<\/strong>. In an installation entitled \u00abAA BATT BEARR BARR MITZVAHH INN MESHUGAHLANDDD\u00bb, the artist reinterprets the transition to adulthood in the Jewish tradition. In the tradition of&nbsp;<em>schmatt\u00e8s<\/em>, the Yiddish word for rags or second-hand clothes, he reinvents the gestures of collecting, sewing, and mending the fabric that mark the history of the Jewish worlds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Echoing the fabric assemblages of&nbsp;<strong>Charlemagne Palestine<\/strong>, the second route proposes a dialogue around textiles, by crossing the collections of the&nbsp;<strong>Jewish Museum of Belgium<\/strong>, those of the&nbsp;<strong>Center of Judeo-Moroccan Culture,<\/strong>&nbsp;and the interventions of four contemporary artists: J<strong>ennifer Bornstein, Richard Moszkowicz, Elise Peroi, Arlette Vermeiren<\/strong>. This game of free-spirited associations reminds us that textile work is, in itself, a&nbsp;ritual practice and that women occupy a central place&nbsp;in it. It also shows that fabrics are never a mere adornment: alternately, they are places of memory, symbols of celebration, or accessions to the sacred.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through a performances program, the third path questions the contemporary resurgence of beliefs and rites.&nbsp;<strong>Hilal Aydo\u011fdu, David Bernstein, Barbara Salom\u00e9 Felgenhauer, and Zina\u00efda Tchelidze<\/strong>&nbsp;rethink the museum space to create an intimate and sensory laboratory, conducive to reflection and exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A symbolic gesture,&nbsp;<em>Passage<\/em>&nbsp;is not only the end point of an exhibition program that has been running in this building for over twenty years. This exhibition&nbsp;questions the future Jewish Museum, which will also imagine new forms of passages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container
