ONE OF THE SYNAGOGUE CURTAINS 



This silken curtain, heavily embroidered in gold, is used in the synagogue to hang in front 

 of the scroll chests. The designs represent the cup of manna, ark of the covenant, Aaron's 

 rod blossoming, the seven-branched candlestick, the table of shew-bread, the golden censer, 

 and other temple furnishings such as existed in the temple at Jerusalem.
