This synagogue memorial composition is designed as a unified Memorial Board, serving as a central visual and spiritual element within the synagogue interior. The project combines traditional Jewish symbolism, sacred sites of the Land of Israel, and high-quality craftsmanship typical of custom synagogue memorial plaques.
The installation consists of three panels and functions as a Synagogue Memorial Board or Yahrzeit Memorial Wall, allowing the community to honor members, families, and benefactors.
The central panel (approximately 130 × 130 cm) features a sculptural bas-relief inspired by Jerusalem stone, depicting three important spiritual landmarks: Rachel’s Tomb (Kever Rachel), the entrance to the tomb of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai in Meron, and the Tower of David in Jerusalem. Together they symbolize prayer, Torah wisdom, and the enduring connection of the Jewish people to Jerusalem.
Beneath the relief are 108 polished brass nameplates for engraved dedications.
Two side panels (60 × 120 cm each) resemble architectural windows and feature menorah compositions made from real stained glass in amber, gold, and deep red tones, symbolizing Ner Neshama — the eternal light of the soul. Each side panel contains 48 additional brass nameplates.
In total, the installation includes 204 engraved plaques, creating a meaningful Synagogue Memorial Wall that honors memory while connecting the community to the spiritual heritage of the Land of Israel.
Designed and produced by Shtern Amber, specializing in custom synagogue memorial boards, donor walls, stained-glass memorial installations, and Judaica architectural elements for Jewish communities worldwide.
