In this photograph by Silvio Wolf, a light beam skims over a page in the book by Claudia De Benedetti, La sinagoga degli Argenti. Arte e spiritualità a Casale Monferrato, illuminating the explanation under the heading “Hanukkah lamp”. Contained and container, significance and signifier meld and it is the light that allows reading of the explanation of what a Hanukkah is, the Festival of Lights.
