Completed
in 1996, the sliding stained glass ark doors and matching
Bema furniture was the final phase of the
Sanctuary Stained Glass Project, for Congregation Beth
Shalom, in Carmichael, California. The design
for the stained glass highlights the congregation's
historic Ner Tamid. The inscription of the Ten
Commandments, on the doors is rendered in gold leaf.
The doors, casements and three pieces of bema furniture
are made of California acacia, in collaboration with
Mendocino county furniture-maker, Mike Steffen.
