It’s not every day that one is commissioned to create the artistic furnishings for the first ever synagogue on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem.
Kimchi was fortunate to be chosen to design and hand-craft the Torah ark (Aron Kodesh), Bimah and podium for this well endowed sanctuary which is located directly across from the Temple Mount itself.
The significance of the location is lost on no one, including Israel’s chief rabbi, the Rishon LiTzion, and Jerusalem mayor, Moche Leon, who participated in the dedication ceremony.
