Gates of Hope Torah Ark (Aron Kodesh)

One of the signature features in Kimchi’s cabinetry is his compositional approach. Nowhere is this better exemplified than in his Torah arks.
In this piece, towering over six meters tall, the massive proportions are subtly broken down into components of varying dimensions, each with its own detailing and hand-crafted sculpting. Between each segment he has introduced hidden lighting which further augments the sense of depth and drama.
The last photo shows the Aron Kodesh in the sanctuary together with the Bimah Kimchi also created.
