Raise Thy Eyes to Jerusalem Aron Kodesh (Ark)
Dimensions: 440 cm x 320 cm high
Materials: Cherry, maple and colored glass
This aron kodesh was commissioned by a synagogue located in the Jerusalem foothills. The carvings on the cherry panels, in fact, depict the hills leading up to The Holy City, which can just be seen through the windows on the horizon. The congregation wanted to stress their connection to Jerusalem and chose this verse from Psalms. The massive central doors slide on runners to reveal the ark above and a separate storage section with additional wooden doors below.
