The Gift of a Holy Ark

We received the gift of a Holy Ark from Temple B'Nai Israel in New Britain, CT. We are saddened to learn that most of their congregants have moved out of their area and they must sell their building. We are glad that we will be able to use their Ark as the centerpiece of our new sanctuary. The Ark is adorned with the phrase, "Remember before whom you stand", the 10 commandments and other symbols. In addition to the Ark, they gave us lecterns, a reading table, a tallit rack and one of the greatest gifts, a Torah.

The Ark has been dismantled and is now in storage and will be placed in the front of our new sanctuary when it is built. Click on each of the pictures below to see the full size image.
