Ner Tamid – The Eternal Flame

The Ner Tamid – the Eternal Flame a light hanging in front of and above the Ark in every synagogue. It is symbolic of the light of truth and the presence of God.

My Ner Tamid highlights the flame burning from the Heart of Judaism, the two Tablets of the Law.

You too can share this beautiful glass as a unique and meaningful wedding gift.

Y’hi Ohr ! Let There Be Light !

Y'hi Ohr2

The background depicts the primordial soup of creation, Biblical or Big Bang  —  You choose.

Having recently sold my Iconic Y’hi Ohr Piece,

Tzedek Tzedek Tirdof — Justice, Justice Shall You Pursue !

Image

Rabbi Robert Dobrusin celebrated his 25th year as rabbi at Congregation Beth Israel in Ann Arbor.  The 8th grade graduating class of 2013 created this mosaic of the Scales of Justice which will hang outside our chapel. 

In gold mirror glass is the word Tzedek – Justice.  It honors the work our Rabbi Dobrusin does for the organization T’ruah, The Rabinnic Call for Human Rights.

Congratulations to our graduates and congratulations to our rabbi!

Holiday Torah Covers at Beth Israel

Do any of these designs look familiar?  They should!  Carol Finerman chose these four from a dozen or so sketches as the designs for the new High Holiday Torah Mantles at Beth Israel.

To get the true beauty though, you need to see these up close and in person.  The workmanship, the choice of materials and the dedication of Carol and her team added so much to our celebrations this holiday season.  Kol Hakavod!
