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.

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!
