Art for Synagogue Walls, Interior


Large paintings are to adorn one wall.  They are meant to evoke the first six days of creation.  The days relate to (describe) the first six eras (thousand years) of Jewish reckoning of history.  We are living in the sixth millennium, the 5775th year of creation = 2015.  Hey, we're in a palindromic year!  

The seventh day of creation corresponds to messianic era to come.  If it is not hurried along, it will arrive in 225 years.


The opposite wall will have the same images but of stained glass.

The ner tamid, נֵר תָּמִיד, represents the seventh in this relationship of art.
