Temple Adath Israel

Two glass art screens consisting of sawtooth glass tiles flank the Ark, the cabinet containing the Torah scrolls.
 
“The blue glass, like the blue fringe on a tallit [a Jewish prayer shawl], is intended to reflect both the water…and the heavens. That’s why the blues fade away, intended to draw our eyes upward, heavenward.” — Rabbi Eric Yanoff
