"It has been the task of this volume to seek out and identify ... the Museum's holdings for Jewish objects from both Hungary and abroad, to unearth whatever information on them is still to be found, and to present the results as one of the Museum's ongoing series of artefact catalogues. ... [I]t includes not only a "conventional" introduction to the collection, but also a separate study of a single artefact: the Offertory Book of the Bikur Holim Society of Papa. ... Adding yet another dimension to this work is a USB flash drive containing an adaptation of the digital installation from Picking Up the Pieces : fragments of rural Hungarian Jewish culture [an exhibition held in the Museum of Ethnography in 2014-2015], a project headed by Zoltán Csík-Kovács ..."--Page 7.

This alms collection book was first used in 1829. The little pockets on the pages display the names of community members in Hebrew. The pockets contained promissory notes indicating the amounts of money individual members had offered. Such notes were used because alms were given on the Sabbath, when the handling of money was forbidden.-- Exhibition information from the Vimeo website.
