Fifteen generations after the Exodus, the Temple was built, the place of Divine Presence. Even when the temples were destroyed, a single wall survived, and the Divine Presence never left the Western Wall. In the ruins of exile it stood strong as before, full of life.
Before us is a curtain that covered the bimah, the podium from which the Torah was read and prayers were conducted at the Western Wall.
A multitude of the people of Israel poured their hearts out in prayer on this curtain - prayers for the individual salvation, for solving medical problems, for a good match, for the salvation of the world, for the gathering of the exiles, for the coming of the Messiah and for the reestablishment of our Temple.
In the center of the curtain is an embroidered picture of the Temple and the verse "I rejoiced with those who said to me, Let us go to the house of the LORD.”
Size: 170 X 140 cm.
Weight: 2.6 kg.
Large and spectacular!
Suitable for mounting on the side of a sukkah.
Condition: Good-Very Good. Curtain faded due to being used for many years, and prolonged exposure to the sun.
