Painting information
Title	English: Jews Praying in the Synagogue on Yom Kippur Česky: Židé modlící se v synagoze při svátku Yom Kippur
Artist	Maurycy Gottlieb
Year	1878
Technique	English: Oil on canvas Česky: Olejomalba
Dimensions	English: 96 1/2 x 75 1/2 in. (245.1 x 191.8 cm.) Česky: 245,1 x 191,8 cm
Current location	English: Tel Aviv Museum of Art Česky: Muzeum umění v Tel Avivu	English: Tel Aviv, Israel
Notes	English: Painted in Vienna. The artist's self portrait is standing to the right of the seated rabbi, looking outwards. The inscription on the Torah scroll says "Donated in memory of our late honored teacher and rabbi Moshe Gottlieb of blessed memory 1878"; it is an epitaph for the artist. All figures depict people from Gottlieb's early life in Drohobycz. The artist himself appears three times: as an adult wearing a pendant standing to the right of the Torah, as a child at lower left wearing the same pendant, and as a boy at the far right. The woman he courted, Laura Rosenfeld, appears twice: at the top left, standing and holding a closed prayer book, and second from the right on the top row, next to her mother. (Summarized from notes by the Tel Aviv Museum.) Česky: Vídeň. Umělcův autoportrét stojí vpravo od sedícího rabína a dívá se ven. Nápis na Tóře říká: „Věnováno památce našeho pozdě oceněného učitele a rabína Moshe Gottlieba 1878.“ Jedná se o umělcův epitaf. Všechny postavy zachycují lidi z Gottliebova mládí v Drohobyczi. Umělec sám se zde nachází třikrát: jako mladík stojící vpravo vedle Tóry, chlapec vlevo dole a dítě úplně vpravo. Jeho manželka je zde zachycena dvakrát: jako žena vlevo nahoře stojící s moflitební knihou a žena vpravo nahoře vedle své matky.
