Notes: |
Jerusalem, Israel - The Ark in a synagogue is known in Hebrew as the Aron Kodesh by the Ashkenazim and as the Hekhál amongst most Sefardim. It is generally a receptacle, or ornamental closet, which contains each synagogue's Torah scrolls (Sifrei Torah in Hebrew). In most cases, when possible, the Ark is located on the wall of the synagogue closest to Jerusalem, considered the holiest spot in the world by Judaism.
