“Ten Commandments” Yeminite Bimah
Dimensions: 160 cm x 75 x 145 cm high
Materials: Mahogany
This bimah was commissioned for a Yemenite synagogue in Tel Aviv. The Torah scroll is read at an angle while resting in the grooves incised in the top surface. The theme on the front panel represents the giving of the ten commandments at Mount Sinai. The back panel evokes the light of the Torah shining from Zion. At the bottom of the front panel is a small door behind which a stool is stored for young boys to stand on as they read from the scroll. At the rear are larger compartments, custom designed to house items necessary during the service.
