This Aron Kodesh, or Holy
Ark to house the Scrolls of the
Law, was executed by the stu-
dents and teachers of the Bezal-
el School of Art at Jerusalem,
under the supervision of the late
Professor Boris Schatz, founder
of the School, and with the guid-
ance of the artists Z. Raben, M.
Gurarie and Ben David. The Ark,
which is fifty-four inches high,
now is on display in the Art
Gallery of the Palestine Pavilion
at the New York World's Fair.

It took scores of artists about
nine years to complete this Ark,
which is considered the outstand-
ing piece of work to come out
of the Bezalel School. The ex-
quisite miniature work that
adorns the Ark includes ivory
carvings symbolizing the Twelve
Tribes of Israel, two lions carved
in red stone, and relief carvings
representing the stories of Adam
and Eve and of Cain and Abel.
Three bas reliefs illustrating the
life of Moses appear on the doors
of the Ark, as do twelve enamel-
ed discs showing the Zodiacal
cycle.
The beauty of the Ark is en-
hanced by intricate filigree work
in silver, studded with semi-prec-
ious stones. In addition to the
Ten Commandments, executed in
enamel, the six-cornered Star of
David and the seven-branched
Menorah also adorn the body of
the Ark in various forms and
designs.

Fair Palestine Exhibit Placed
On Sale
NEW YORK (WNS) — Hun-
dreds of exhibits contained in the
Jewish Palestine Pavilion at the
Fair, exemplifying the artistic,
industrial and cultural achieve-
ments of the Jewish community
of the Holy Land, have been
placed on sale, it was announced
by Meyer W. Weisgal, director.
The sale, which includes many of
the regular exhibit items as well
as the paintings, drawings, etch-
ings and sculptures on display in
the Pavilion's Art Gallery, will
continue until the close of the
Fair on October 17th.
The proceeds of the sale of
art works will go to the Pales-
tinian artists who created them,
Mr. Weisgal said, while the sums
realized on the rest of the ex-
hibit material will be used to
support the work of building the
new homeland in Palestine for
refugees from persecution.
While the exhibits in the Pal-
estine Pavilion had originally
been sent to this country for the
duration of the Fair only, the
war-time closing of the Medi-
terranean has made their return
to the Holy Land impossible' at
this time.
