Gilding of the Holy Ark & Inner Decor at the Rashbam Synagogue in Jerusalem

In 2019, we executed the gilding of the Holy “Torah” Ark as well as all the furnishing and decor of the Rashbam Synagogue that was built in Jerusalem. The gold leaf coatings were made with 24 carat gold. The objects treated included: the Holy Ark, the Synagogue interior walls, the supporting columns, the seating benches, the “Habima” (the Rabbi’s Pulpit) and the Synagogue doors. The traditional technique of gold leaf coating combined with modern materials, ensures durability of the gilded details for many years into the future.

Architectural design: Aaron Estreicher

Carpentry and carving: Emesh Ltd.
