NJOP is still running their contest called Judaica across America. They are looking for entries of images of your old Judaica with the story of their history. The Grand Prize is a trip for two to Israel (the contest is only open for people residing in the US).
This kiddush cup is a sample of a submission. They started a blog highlighting some of the entries. There are some fascinating stories behind some beautiful Judaica.
So get out your digital camera and take a picture of your inherited spice box or haggada or of the menora that survived the Spanish Inquisition or whatever and send it in... Who knows - you might be a chapter in our history and you might even make it to Israel!
